Oh come on! Now I know there is something wrong with my board. First I have tested all 4 sticks on the board running through memtest for 4 hours and no error (running test on each stick seperately). So please don't think I haven't tried anything. Now through series of tests, I was able to boot two sticks on both orange slot. Once I was able to boot all 4 sticks, but everytime I do a cold boot it doesnt post. I've also done memtest with all 4 sticks and no error was found. So I don't believe it has anything to do with my RAM. What did I do to get all 4 sticks boot? First I run one stick in the top orange slot to boot into memtest. I leave it running for about an hour then quickly add another stick to the bottom orange slot. I repeat the process and add the last two sticks. I have to keep my computer running else if I cold boot i won't get post. At one point I thought it was my RAM so I pulled 4 sticks out of my other system (OCZ Plat3200) and the result was the same. Currently I'm able run with all 4 sticks and afraid to turn my computer off.

Yes, i'm running them on 3.3v. Also I have a Panaflo 92mm blowing directly to all four sticks. Note that my system was working properly for the past 5 months before I had to switch power supplies in and out. I even tried running at optimized default ram timing.

Yeah CPC was disabled.

I see. After the CMOS clear, I put all 4 sticks in and got constant reboot. Pulled both the yellow and orange (closest to CPU) and boots fine. So I guess I will have to RMA the board. Any last minute advise before doing so? And how long is the turnaround time for RMAs?

Alright I finally bought the Enermax Noisetaker 600w. As you can see from my sig I'm running 4 sticks of Mushkin Redline and running bios 623-3. Here is the problem, with all 4 sticks in I get 3 LED with the long beep -- pause -- long beep (repeat). I read that people should try the yellow DIMM (the one closest to the CPU). So I did and still had 3 LED with the beep. Through trial and error this was the result. Boots fine when sticks are in 3 or 4 / 3 and 4 (3 and 4 being the top two DIMM slots). But anything in 1 and 2 suffers the 3 LED with beep. Possible 1 and 2 are dead? For now I'm going to try CMOS clear. Hopefully I won't have to RMA and if I do the warranty is still there. I purchased mine around August 05.

Seasonic sent another S12 600W for me to try. Unfortunately it did not post. I got the blinking yellow LED. I replaced the seasonic with the power supply i've been using as temp (Aspire 550w). It booted up with 3 LEDs. Meaning it had something to do with RAM. Tested the Mushkin on my other rig and all are working. So I guess I'm going to do another 8 hours CMOS clear. I hope the Seasonic didn't kill my board. Now I have two S12 600w Revision A2 that doesnt work with my board. I will have to call them again in the morning.

Nf4 Ultra-D power issues with seasonic
@nthrax replied to Xerxes's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
Same problem! My first S-12 worked for 4 months, afterward it died and my replacement came in yesterday. That S-12 worked for 3-4 hours until a cold boot killed it. Now I get flashing DRAM LED. Thinking of calling Seasonic for refund to buy a different power supply. How does the +5v fix work? I'm curious of trying it out. -
Comp hangs at Lanparty logo at system boot
@nthrax replied to figment's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
ugh, I had the same problem the other day. A lot of people says pulling the battery and clearing the cmos for 8+ hours works, but it didn't for me. I had to pull my processor out, put in another, and it finally booted. After the sucessful post, i put my original processor in and it's working like normal. -
No POST with 1 LED, PSU related?
@nthrax replied to @nthrax's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
Wow.. My DFI board came back to life when I put an AMD64 3500+ in. Booted into ubuntu and everything is working like normal. So it was the processor? nope, after an hour or so.. i decided to put my 4200+ x2 back in and it booted fine. So what the heck happened? I have no idea!! :eek: :confused: :eek: I'm thinking the APC unit had something to do with it. It killed my powersupply and 2x 512mb redline. -

Alright, tried leaving computer off for 24 hours. Battery removed and CMOS on reset. Still getting 1 LED and hangs on LAN PARTY logo. I think it is time to RMA this motherboard. Power supply and other peripherals works fine in my old gigabyte board. -

oh the 400w I am currently using is 24-pins (corrected) -
My computer (spec in sig) was working fine until i turned off the computer when the APC unit alarm came on. Afterward my computer would not turn on at all. The yellow power indicator was blinking everytime i pressed power. So I thought my PSU was fried. I replaced the PSU with a 400w. Unplugged every PCI card minus video. Also unplugged both dvd-roms and all hard drive minus the main raptor. On the first boot, it managed to go into BIOS. From there I clocked everything back to stock (cpu and memory). After reboot it tried to load windows but I accidently had the wrong hard drive plugged in (it was one of my 250gb). Error loading windows blah blah blah. Now this is when it started, i reboot once more and it stopped at 3 lights. I removed all 4 of my ram and placed one in the orange (far from cpu). Oddly only 2 of out the 4 booted to 1 LED. (1 LED being I see the DFI Lan Party Logo and stuck there). So I'm guessing 2 of my ram sticks are fubar as well. I've read the steps to "clear cmos the right way" (even switched back the ramv to 3v). I've tried the 1 min, 30 minutes, 3 hours.. now doing the 8 hours trick. I've ran into this 1 LED problem twice when I first built my system 4 months ago. The first time I unplugged the firewire cable, and the second time I plugged the firmwire.. both booted pass the 1 LED. Too bad the trick doesnt work like before =( . Right now, my 400w PSU is plugged into the 4 motherboard plugs and the VGA power. Once or twice the CPU and Bridge fans stopped after 1 LED. This is really troublesome especially when I'm at a lan party. I'm waiting for my local frys to open so I can purchase a decent power supply and hopefully that fix the issue. I've noticed that i'm not the only person who suffer the 1 LED POST, is 8 hours really worth the wait?

Memtest Errors with Mushkin Redline PC-4000
@nthrax replied to -47-!'s topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
I believe it is 2-2-2-6 -
yeah same problem here. Just unplug the ipod before rebooting or booting.
