Okay done, I'm now running 6/23-3
Second bios flash on this board, 3 Bios flash i've ever done.
I know how to do it, but I had to mess around telnetting in to a dead router that was incorrectly flashed with the wrong firmware, so im always super cautions when doing things like that.
Anyway I configured my bios the best I could.
Can anyone think of any settings that I should change? Like those spread spectrums? What should they be? And my pci payload etc. Would it help if i took pictures of my bios and linked to them so you could comment/critque them?

dead BIOS
Guys,
it seems I`v ``killed`` my BIOS on DFI NF4-U-D/SLi somehow during flashing (NF4LD310.BIN BIOS). I`v followed no fdd link http://eu.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios_Winflash_us.htm ,everything went fine, pressed reboot and since that moment nothing. Black screen ... And 4 3 2 led is flashing red ...
If anybody knows what to do to clear BIOS, tried to safe boot from manual, but nothing.
Thanks for help.

Hello there.
I ordered a DFI UT NF4 Ultra from OCUK along with
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice
BFG GeForce 7800 GT
Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 CAS2.5
And I already had
Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W 500PGB PSU
Now the problem is that after assembling all the parts, plugged in the power to the psu and two yellow light lit up. One next to the ram the other below pci slots. When I pressed the power button on the mobo, four red light turn on momentarily, the graphic card lit up and within a second, nothing, back to ground zero. Only this time the ram light was off. also the fans turn for a split second.
I changed psus, all four power sources connected. No luck.
Also now, when I press the power button, the four red light flash for a second and nothing, the ram light stays on, the fans dont spin. Dont know whats wrong. Checked my psu on bro's rig, works fine.
Please help

Make absolutely sure that the mobo is sat on the spacers and clear of the case ie no chance of it grounding. Also all cables and connectors for the same thing.
I connected the parts outside the casing over the plastic that comes with the mobo. I didnt connect any hdds or other drives. Just mobo, processor, graphics card, ram and psu. I dont know what the problem seems to be.
Also this is not the first time I am building a system. I cant post in the DFI forums because my registration is not complete.
If the problem is with the mobo, what should I do?? Should I RMA is to DFI or return to ocuk as i just got it today?
Any help would be highly appreciated...

Have you tried the single stick of ram thing, idid'nt have to go that far though,kaiserftw said:
1 thing I did find important was when clearing the cmoss after removing the Power from the psu was to press the power button a few times, before clearing cmoss.
It was all back in april and I was convinced the board was dead, But it just took a little patience and a bit of time away from it, before I eventually got it going

Try this, sorted me out.
Remove power cord from PSU, then remove CMOS battery, wait 1 minute, replace the CMOS battery.
Make sure you only have one stick of RAM in the orange slot furthest away from the CPU.
Replace the PSU power cord, hold the INSERT key on your keyboard, and then power up. You may need to do the INSERT and power thing twice.
Worth a shot, otherwise I'd try some different RAM and possibly another CPU. But hopefully the above will sort you out.

Thanks Paul, I just tried clearing the cmos again and pressing the power button before doing that. I have checked all the slots with a single stick of ram and doing all this from this morning till midnight is giving a backache and testing my patience. Have run outta ideas.
same problem with bios
Hm still same problem
. Tried many times to clear BIOS, removed battery for few minutes. When it rebooted it said something funny about memory WARNING Please install one RAM module in DIMM 2 for single cjanel operation and 2 Modules in DIMM 2&4 for dual channel operation.
Bios stopes in the beginning and : press F1 continue or DEL to enter setup.
I am able to get into the windows but allways after restart I have to clear BIOS, remove battery.
Just dont understand why this mess
, because flashing was done in accordance of DFI guide, with their enclosed file. Would it help if I reinstaled chipset again? Would it have any effect on BIOS? Is there a way back to the factory BIOS?
Just dont know what else to do ...
Thanks
