Try unplugging everything you don't need to boot up and then see what happens

(keep memory, CPU, heatsink, videocard, psu attached to motherboard)

Is there any way to get to the POST Screen? On my P4B with the splash screen enabled it was escape.

after clearing cmos, can u get back into the mobo settings?

If clearing the CMOS doesn't help, then you can take the mobo battery out, unplug the PSU, press the power switch to drain the capacitors and then wait for a few hours. You can give that a shot.

I can't seem to get to anything, the only thing that comes up is the DFI Lanparty logo

How do I take the Motherboard battery out?

How do I take the Motherboard battery out?

It looks like a big watch battery. I think the connection mechanism differs from board to board so you'll have to see what's keeping it in.

 

[Fresh Daemon]

On the DFI LanParty NF4 the CMOS battery is located just to the bottom-right of the chipset fan (assuming the board is oriented with the RAM slots at the top and the ATX ports at the left). It's a round metal disc in a yellow socket, right below the nVidia SATA ports. It's held in by a spring-clip at the top. Press that little metal catch upwards and pop the battery out.

This will force the CMOS to clear if for some reason it's not responding to the clear-CMOS jumper.

did you put the jumper back to its original location after you set it?

I got it to work again!!!!!!!!!! But only with 1 memory stick in, it works with one memory stick on it's own but not the other one on it's own and it doesn't work with both. Is there anyway of making it work with both or do I just need to send the one that doesn't work back (as I only got all the parts 3 and a half weeks ago) and get a replacement??
