Moof Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Hi ! I got yesterday my new computer : A64 X2 4400+, DFI nF4 SLI-DR, 2x512 Mb A-Data PC4000, OCZ Powerstream 520W, HIS X850 XT. After everything was installed, I tested Super Pi and noticed that my score was very bad (~ 60 secs @ 2400 Mhz). I saw that the latest CMOS improved Dual Core performance. I decided to install the beta CMOS (02 July 2005) in -3 version, which seems to be the most compatible. I flashed the CMOS, everything went without problem. I restarted the computer when I was told to do it. And when I wanted to reboot : no display. I've tested in single channel and with an old memory module of OCZ BH-?, it didn't solve the problem. The screen stays off. Does somebody have a solution ? I really don't know what to do Thanks a lot ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Hello, - Remove the power cord from the PSU (power supply) - Place the CMOS jumper in the clear position - Leave it there for 10mins - Put it back to the save position after 10mins - Power the PC and see what happens.

Moof Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I've tested a clear CMOS (not during 10 minutes, but I never had to put the jumper in the clear position more than 10 seconds to clear CMOS on my other computers), without success.

Sharp Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 It depends on the board, some dont fully clear in a short time period. (try 10mins ) Did you plug all 4 power connectors into thew board too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken Joe Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 We need your specs in a sig really;) Sharp has it right no harm trying. OK don't be offended make sure the cord to the monitor is plugged in before you start the computer- many will not turn on if you mess with it afterwards are the lights on and are the fans spinning? You might have had a bad flash- in theory at least you want to flash when memtest and prime stable. When I flash I go back to stock settings and if something is really wrong I will go to one stick of memory at stock settings.

Moof Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Problem has been solved. I don't understand the way of solving it, but it works The trick was to boot while pressing INSER, it gave me the display back and I flashed the CMOS again with an official bios this time. Strange motherboard... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
