Think you just need the main block (pretty sure). I'd revert to stock clock speed to avoid any chance of instability, don't want it crashing mid-flash.

Started coming up with the following errors...
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

it would also randomly restart until i turned off XPs "restart after errors" function.

Also came up these files in the bsod...
win32k.sys at address .... in ....

My setup has been solid until yesterday... had 2 random restarts and one system hang whilst playing Company of Heroes. Now today burnt a DVD, it finished fine, then pressed OK in Nero to be greeted with a BSOD caused by win32k.sys!

Any ideas what could be happening? Temps all seem fine and I had no problems in the heat (even with hevy gaming sessions). Only driver change I can think of is upgrading to Forceware 91.36 last night, but the random restarts and hang happened before that.

Any help appreciated

Cheers,

Suman

I've got the annoying northbridge fan running at 2500-3000rpm. The system temp. is reported as 45-50 idle. Is that OK?

Can anyone point me in the direction of the latest stable BIOS for the Ultra-D please??

Thanks,

Thanks,

Try here

Either 04/06 if you have SST 49LF040B LPC flash ROM otherwise 03/29 as they both contain almost all the same fixes just the 04/06 is for a specific flash ROM

Thanks beatM

Can I do that one whilst in windows? Would rather that way as I'm used to it?

Flash File 04/06
Flash File 03/29

Then use Winflash to update the BIOS

Winflash 1.76

Personally I would use this:
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22031
Burn the image to cd and boot up from it. It has all the bios' s you need for your mobo. Highly recommended and far safer than using winflash in windows.

Load windows OS then reboot and install the latest BIOS then?

Sounds ok to me

thanks mate

I dont think there is such a thing as 'best bios' every machine is different, it's a matter of finding out which one works best for you. It's a slow process but thats the way it is. I would go with the latest official bios for you motherboard as a good starting point.

Hi Scoobie,

Well I have built my machine in record time without much hassle..

Only thing is everytime I reboot is see's my 2 x hard drives as removable drives??

Is that a driver issue you think?

edit: processor running @ 18c idle

You mean you see it in the taskbar? Hide that one using properties of the taskbar.

Ah coolio thanks bud..

One last thing I have burnt T mods CD7 and it works fine but I'm at a loss as to which BIOS to use and flash with ???

Motherboard box sticker says - NF4U91-134M

But for the life of me I can't find that model under NF4 list, do I just pick the lastest date and flash??

Thanks for your help lads
