Hm still same problem :confused: . 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 :mad: , 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

List out your exact specs including BIOS version - why 310? It's really old and doesn't support E3, E4 and E6 revision CPU's - i.e. Venice, X2 Manchester and Toledo or Opteron 939.

Hey there.

I had trouble powering up my DFI NF4 Ultra D mainboard and asked for help a few posts above.

Now the thing is that if I dont plug in the 12V connector into the mobo, it powers up but all the four red lights are on and no display. If I plug it in, same problem, four reds flash and quickly go away, and fans attempt to start but then nothing. Could this be my power supply??

A64 3500+
DFI UT NF4 ULTRA D (bios unknown)
1 GIG CORSAIR VALUE SELECT PC3200
BFG 7800 GT OC
Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W 500PGB PSU

I have one 512 chip in the upper orange slot.
Have tried the CMOS clear method but I never booted the system


I would be very grateful for the help.
 
First off - hope you sort your problems out kaiserftw.

Quick update. Tried 2:3 ram fsb ratio - wouldnt boot windows. Tried 7:10 and its now priming @ 290x9 2.61ghz 1.36v. Temps are 43c while priming with fan on low (2,000rpm).

Edit: Ah I love these opterons. 299x9 1.36v 2690mhz 43c. Sure beats the 3400 @ 2.32ghz 1.5v 48c lol. :)

Edit: Prime failed @ 2745mhz but it seems good at 2731 (303mhz HTT) 1.36v.

Not bad at all.

That's your best bet. 623-3 should not have any issues whatsoever and should run stabley so long as all the necessary drivers are installed.

Hi there,

The problem seemed to be in memories position. I have followed roughly guide in the beginning of this tread.

So at the moment my status is:
-flashed bios from floppy (623-3)
-memory on 2 and 4 slot (orange)

Did few changes in BIOS : errata 94 disabled, cpu throttling disabled, pci pay load 256 mb, hard drive delay 2s.
This should help with tuning of the board (hopefully). Just got it from another forum.

Problem at the moment with graphic card : sometimes not able to boot imediately after start so have to help it with reset. Fortunately no need for any battery removal as before (it was real pain).
Anyway sometimes it goes fine sometimes I have to do above.
I`ll look for solution.

If any new dicovery I`ll post it.

Thanks for help.

i cant get my board to boot above 280fsb with my opteron144
not sure what ive got set wrong as the cpu is still 29c idle @1.45volts

Try it on a lower multiplier. Try x8 and see if you can overclock to make sure its not a cpu problem.

If it is holding you back @ 280 then thats one poor clocker. What stepping is it? tried setting the ram on a divider etc?

ive not run memtest on this board, but i did run it on my asus a8n premium and all was ok , ill give it a run now


edit: ok ive ran memtest and it gave 1000`s of errors at 300 fsb 9x multiplier and a 2/3 divider
