Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

Borrowed some friends AData DDR400 last weekend and it worked fine on my rev A.02 SLi-D. My GSkill LE has just arrived, popped on stick into the top orange slot and worked fine. Now, after reboot, it refuses to work. I've cleared the CMOS and it says:

Verifying DMI Pool Data...
Error loading Operating system

After I switch back to the normal pins as opposed to the ones used to clear CMOS, I turn on and nothing comes up on the monitor. I'm at a loss on what to do.

You have to set the HDD priority so your boot drive is first I think.
 
Managed to clear CMOS moving the jumper, turned off, moved the jumper back to normal settings. Started up and booted from floppy with the new bios, installed the bios, removed floppy and pressed F1 as stated. It reboots then I get no signal from the monitor.

It seems to only boot if I move the jumper, it won't restart at all if the jumper stays in a certain position. I am really stuck!

Check that all your memory timings are set to Auto.

Ricco,

Can you either start another thread on the DFI SLI-DR (or post on the first page of this one) and its brothers but this time simply show all the "Genie" parts of the bios to say, overclock TCCD ram to 290+ ?

I think it could be a great tweaking guide and help peopl etrawl through all those mem and voltage settings :)

Maybe thats not a thread for me to start, since I don't use TCCD with the NF4, but rather BH.
I can help with BH memory settings :), so would contribute to the thread.

The problem as I see it is no one uses the search very often, and threads do'nt get stickied that are of specific board setups.
Its hard to keep what I consider relevant information updated as tons of duplicated or unfounded that just would maybe confuse the issue.
It might be worth a link in first post to a specific setup thread(and cross linked back), that way it will always be easy to find the threads that are connected.

I'll knock something up later and see if its worth linking.
 
wooo! Removing the battery worked! /me hugs all

Surely removing the CMOS battery and moving the jumper to reset pins should have the same effect, this obviously isnt' the case. Lucky you lot didn't overlook this.

Happy :D:D:D

Yes, I've found that removing the jumper is ineffective also :(

Hi would you believe I've just had the same thing, I was messing in the bios with tha genie went to reboot nothing etc etc, just sorted it then came on here couldn't beleive we both done the same things :D

There is lots to play with on this bios that's for sure :p

Keep up the good work everyone.
 
If I change some settings and need to reset the CMOS (by removing the battery in my case) does this mean I need to flash the BIOS after re-inserting the CMOS battery in order to use the newer BIOS or will it be remembered, and just my individual settings will be lost. If this could be clarified I'd be grateful.

No you shouldn't need to reflash the BIOS, it will just load the default settings. If its BIOS 3.10, be careful because it will set max async latency to 7 ns which may be a bit low for some RAM, depending on HTT
