Well I have 2 939 pcs already and figured id build a third since they are so cheap.
All of my components are purchased through the fs/ft forums.

148(tested fine in another pc)
x850 pcie(tested fine in another pc)
4x512 Patriot PC4800(unsure about these)
Dfi SLI-DR Expert (unsure about this)
OCZ 600 watter
3200ks Drive

Well the problem is when i turn on the pc, i get into bios and all that jazz but everyuthing is blanked out, eventually itll freeze in bios and i will have to power it down>
The other 90% of the time it will freeze during DFi diagnostics tests>
2 leds in the corner is where it hangs at, which means a Vga Problem?
But my card is working fine and i tested it in 2 other machines?

I also tested the patriot in My dfi cf board with x1900xtx' and the patriot works fine in there as well.Ive tried one ram stick, 12 hour clearing of the cmos, the works.
Somebody please help
 
My theory would be either BIOS needs reflashing or the BIOS chip is just defective, in which case you need to contact M/B manufacturer about getting a replacement. Either that or you just simply have something plugged in backwards or loose !!!

Have you tried reflashing/updating the BIOS as opposed to just resetting CMOS ?

Good luck
 
If you can get to it before it freezes, try to get to the menu item in the bios that corresponds to "Load default settings" or something like that. If not, find the MB manual online, find the section on reseting the bios, do that, and then see if it still has problems after a bios reset. Bet ya its a corrupted bios or a bios that has overclocked settings not suitable for your hardware.

Dude I think I have an extra external USB floppy drive. Sounds like you need to flash that thing. If that doesn't work, I would venture to guess that it was sold to you like that.
 
P.S. I did flash my SLI-DR (normal version) using Winflash... I was actually surprised it worked but I wouldn't recommend it

Before you do anything post this problem on the Street, we'll take care of you.
