so much for that system

[Soulkeeper]

didn't even last 12 hours

my dfi lanparty nf2 board bit the dust
in my attempt to get my memory to it's default clock speed the system hung a few times
everytime the system hangs during reboot on this board you have to clear the cmos in order to boot the system again

it worked the first few times but then i think i left the clear cmos jumper on too long (like 10 minutes while i was looking for something) and now the board won't turn on nomatter what i do

this blows

That really sucks man.

I've left the CMOS jumper on my 8RDA+ overnight in clear and it worked fine the next day. Maybe try swapping components.

hehehe....

my abit ic7 bit the dust in 4 days...

i went to check on my food... came back and my computer was off.... never powered on again!



try swapping components then RMA that board to DFI if it's still broke

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah the board is screwed
i'm gonna take it back to the store i got it at and get a refund
then i might get a different motherboard

cause i couldn't even hit 200fsb stable on that peice of junk

I know people have been saying the abit nf2 ultra board is good
but i like the layout and features of the asus board

I just hope the asus board don't hold me back by not being able to adjust vchipset or allowing higher vdimm voltages


what board do you think i should replace it with ???

i'm actually kinda dissapointed by all the nf2 boards in one way or another

all i care about is overclocking features and board layout

 

[Soulkeeper]

ok i went down and picked up an asus a7n8x 2.0 delux for 40 bucks cheaper after returning the dfi paper weight
it is purring along perfectly

Glad the new board is treating you well. Now that you have an ASUS, try this trick instead of using the CMOS jumper.

Turn off the computer, then hold the INSERT key as you press the power button when you end up with an unbootable overclock point. Save you alot of frustration with jumpers and setting every BIOS setting each time you try to push to high.
