    DFI NF4 Ultra-D XP install problem

    I've had this computer running for a year Raid0 without problems. Recently I have been getting BSOD's for random programs. Overclocked, and stock speeds. I reformatted, and tried installing windows XP, I would get to the GUI interface, all files would load, when the "Time remaining" reached 0...

    Got a 170 on the way, let the OC'n begin

    After a week or so of troubleshooting a boot problem, I have got this chip stable at 2.8 w/ 1.43v. I had a major problem and it took over a week to discover that the problem was the PSU. The Fortron 500w was not enough power to run my system. I now have the OCZ 700w and it's been running fine...

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    Update: Got the OCZ 700w yesterday, installed, zero problems booting so far. Every time I have turned the system off, it has powered on the first time I've hit the button. So I believe its solved for now. I was really worried thinking if this didn't work, then it had to be a mobo issue...

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    sounds like we are in the same boat. Try puttin in your single again, mine works fine when I do that. I will give you a heads up when this new PSU arrives. Hopefully it will solve the problem.

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    Does anyone feel this could be a NF4 Chipset Driver issue? I believe I'm using 6.53. Should the NF4 Chipset driver be updated to something newer? Does the chipset driver need to change to support dual core chips?

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    I think everyone is ignoring the fact that I keep mentioning that this PSU has had ZERO issues for over a year. Once the dualcore went in, that's when it started. Its not like i just bought this PSU and it gave problems from the beginning, no. The situation is the CPU, heres a quick...

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    The system has run fine for a year, once i put in the dual core it changed. It's not the Ram voltage. If i put in the opty 148 it works fine. So its an issue with the dual core and power. I just ordered a 700w ocz and this better fix the problem.

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    Just got done with a 46 hour long cmos clear, and the problem is still there. So I'm thinking that the 500w Fortron Blue Storm is not enough power for this dual core chip. Which shocks me. So I just ordered a OCZ OCZ700GXSSLI and this better fix the problem. If this problem is still present...

    Best Dual-Core Air Cooler

    Looking for some opinions on a good dual core air cooler. I prefer it being quieter if possible, then again I can control the fan speed. So shoot away, I currently have a Zalman CNPS9500 and its not doing the job all that well at keeping this cpu cool. Trying to keep under $70. Thanks everyone.

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    Thanks for the response. I have tried 4 different bios's, same thing. Remember, this system has had zero problems for a year until I dropped in the dual core. Putting in the opty 148 fixes the problem immediately. I'm about to buy a new PSU, tonight I'm doing a long cmos clear and...

    DFI NF4 Cold boot issue?

    I have a DFI NF4 Ultra-D. I've had my mobo over a year running fine no problem with my Old Opty 148. Recently I installed a dual core opty 170 and am now having boot problems. The problem is the computer will not turn on when pressing the power button. In the morning, afternoon, night, even...

    Not saving OC on startup?

    Got a 6800GS and usually run it around 485/1150. I reset some settings and am now trying to OC in rivatuner. I will set the speeds and when I restart my computer, the settings revert back to default. I have the "Apply settings at startup" checked 485/1150. The strange thing is, when I...
