There in the manual IIRC

All 4 off = system boot ok from memory

I've only got diagnostic LED information of the Lanparty NFII Ultra B. Each LED has a number 1-4 which is important.

If they start flashing in an ever increasing strobe fashion, I advise you to run for it

All 4x on on System Startup, then its :-

Down to 3x = CPU Detected.

Down to 2x = DRAM Detected.

Down to 1x = VGA Detected.

All out = System Boot-up.

Note if the last LED does not go off (indicating a VGA error) its wrong, it means you have your Ram in the wrong slots which is nothing to do with VGA, got me that ******* one, thought me card was shagged when i had a DFi board.

I thinks its a Mem problem or VGA but I would go with the mem in wrong slot,
I did have the colour codes but cant find then for the life of me.
How about the beeps they can be easier to get.

Warning beeps

On my old DFi board the memory had to go in both Orange slots (1-3) for Dual Channel.

For future reference, here are the new DFI support forums.

If it's just doing this on the 'LanParty' splash screen, it's quite normal and clears up when using some of the later BIOSes.
