Freaking great. So I put my DS3, e6400, and new Patriot ram in, and it finally boots after wiggling around the chassis cables a bit. I get into the BIOS and check to see that everything is ok. After that I rebooted and tested moving the FSB up to get it to 2.5ghz and with the ram not even hitting default ram speed, and it doesnt reboot. Nothing happens when I it the power button, tried resetting the CMOS by removing the battery for a few minutes, even changed out the battery, double checked everything.

I don't have a jumper to jump the CMOS pins either, but removing the battery should do something. I have tried everything I can think of. I need help because I am using this build on a recording session later tonight!!!

EDIT/UPDATE: Ok, so I upped the voltage to 1.4 and the ram voltage to 2.2, and did an Orthos Run at 3.4ghz . It failed after 10 minutes so I restarted. I got an extended bios beep and then it turned on and off several times on its own.

After it stopped, the computer would not turn on again. I jumped the CMOS pins with a screw driver, removed and installed the CMOS battery with a 1 minute wait in between, tried several RAM configs... and.... nothing. no power at all. What on earth is this motherboards problem? The initial problem for this thread just randomly went away and it powered up after a bit of time.
 
You can short the CMOS pins with a screwdriver or other metal object. That's what I had to do one time.
 
yeah I just put one stick of memory into a middle slot on accident and it booted fine that way, so I reset the BIOS and I'm installing windows now.


In other words, I am going to need some serious help overclocking. I was affluent with AMD's process in their K8 bios, but not this intel stuff.
 
Did you try setting the ram voltage to what its actually rated at? Default on the ds3 is 1.8

And you dont need a jumper, you just have to short the pins with a screwdriver or something....
 
here is what you do to get to > 3 GHz:

To get 3 GHz (7x30), set the followings
PCI Express: 100
Mem Multiplier: 2
Mem Timing: 5-5-5-15

or

To get 3.150 GHz (7x450), set the followings
PCI Express: 100
Mem Multiplier: 2
Mem timing: 5-6-6-17

or

To get 3.220 GHz (7x460), set the followings
PCI Express: 100
Mem Multiplier: 2
Mem timing: 5-6-6-17
DIM Volt: 0.1

or

To get 3.250 GHz (7x465), set the followings
PCI Express: 100
Mem Multiplier: 2
Mem timing: 5-6-6-17
DIM Volt: 0.1
MCH Volt: 0.1
Cpu volt: 1.337
 
The mem divider? I saw something in the memory section that had:

Auto
2x
3x
4x (etc)

This is on an e6400. So the multiplier is 8.

The ram is rated at 1.8v. Its running and I have windows installed with all the drivers updated. Tomorrow I am going to update to an F6 bios and then overclock.
 
Ok, There is no memory timing settings in the bios either. WTF is this?

Alright, messed with some things and now its at 2.991.6ghz and I'm testing it with 2 instances of Orthos SP2004. Idle temps are ~33-34C and load is still going up, but after 4 minutes hasn't broken 50*C yet.

hit control-F1 while you are in the BIOS main menu.

why don't you just try 3.2ghz on the conroe as your ram is being stressed big time at higher than 400fsb...

Manually set your ram timings... Set it to 2.1 volts.... And try that..
