DFI Lanparty nf4 ultra-D boot problems

[wazza886]

Hi all.

 

huge problems here..

 

here is my scenario:

 

Yesterday i received the following parts:

 

DFI Lanpary NF4 Ultra-D

Athlon 64 3200 939 (Venice)

OCZ Gold EL 3200 512mb x 2 (running dual channel)

Gigacube x800XL

The case is a thermaltake tsunami with 400w p/s it has a 20 - 24 pin adaptor.

 

I built the pc and had a few problems to begin with, but after that it was working ok till i formatted my hard drive for XP install, came back and the computer was OFF.

 

Now i turn it back on and no video display on screen, no beeps, no nothing.

 

The four LEDS on the mobo are lit up and it does NOT get past that.

 

Ive tried to clear cmos but i dunno if im doing it right ?

 

take power cord out of p/s

set cmos jumper to CLEAR

take out battery

leave for 1 minute

set jumper to DEFAULT

but battery back in

tested and same thing

 

any ideas/suggestions...thanks !

Need a PSU with native 24-pin ATX & a min of 480W, preferably a "known-good" brand.

I would also be willing to bet it is your power supply...do you happen to have another system around that you could test your P/S out with? (Either that or a Volt-meter will do)

[wazza886]

ok but how could my p/s be damaged??? i didnt do anything to it

First your PSU is underpowerd for your system. Second it is native 20 pin atx. This motherboard has a 24pin atx connector. The PSU may not be the cause of your issue at this time, but cannot rule it out. Please read below post.

But it worked before...

Like it has been stated before that PSU is underpowered for this motherboard.

So the first thing I would do is replace it. See David's post for link to recommended PSU's for your system. After that if you are still having same issue try the below.
