Freezes after driver install


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Have you plugged all 4 power connectors into the board?

Floppy one under the cpu socket

Hard drive one on top the chipset cooler?

 

Can you clear the CMOS using the jumper,

- Remove the power cord

- Put the jumper in the claer position, leave it there few 10mins

- Then put the jumper back to the save position

- power the PC.

- Enter the BIOS

- set the memory voltage to 2.8v

- save and exit

 

Reinstall windows, what happens?

Hello,

 

In windows have you installed the nf4 chipset drivers?

 

- Uninstall firewall

- Uninstall the the IDE drivers

 

In the BIOS set the DRAM response to Normal.

I had a similar issue. But if i left only one stick on ram in, it would be fine. I flashed to a bios version 7 something and that seemed to fix everything. BUT NOW I can't get into safe mode. This sucks, but atleat I can use my system

 

still looking for solution to this problem... think it was the bios version i flashed to.

 

DFI nf4 sli-dr

AMD 3200

Corsair xms 2x-1gig

Ati radeon x700pro

i have neither the firewall nor the ide drivers installed. i have nothing in the package of drivers with the chipset drivers installed so i can avoid the problem. what will this do, as in will i lose the capability to burn dvd's or anything? i'll try the bios option. thanks

You won't lose the ability to burn DVDs by not installing the PATA/SATA drivers, you'll just lose hard drive features (control over read and write caching, as well as TCQ/NCQ if your drive supported it, but it does not seem to) and performance.

I'm having this same exact problem. I've noticed that they only people with 623 BIOS have SATA drives. I don't think IDE works with that BIOS.

 

When I flash 623, restart, properly clear the CMOS and reset optimized defaults It will not boot from my windows install on my ata hard drive and I also cannot boot into windows set up from my windows xp pro cd.

 

Can anyone else confirm this issue?
