What is wrong with that DFI 250

[RocKer]

Djeezes this is the most crappy mobo that i ever had,now it wont even boot in xp on default settings,all is on auto as well and it wont come in windows.

I get always the 0x0000008E bluescreen,and that is related to memory if i am correct,i try'd my twinmoss 2x256mb(50B chipies) my VX 1x512mb and my BH5 corsairs,nothing works not even at default stock settings :mad: .

Can somebody help.

Now the mem can't all be fubar so i think it is the mobo again.

This is my second UT250 mobo,with the VX i cant get higher than 10x230 @ 3.5vdimm then i wanded to start over(from htt200 and up) with the VX and it even did'nt wont to boot at stock settings.

Then i try'd the twinmoss 2x256mb the went to 10x244(10x240 24/7),that was good :) ,it run like this for 6days,then i went tweaking the timmings it failed and i had to start over again from 10x200,it was a no go,everything on auto,no go.

Same thing happend with the bh5.

It allways did run for a week,like at 10x240(twinmoss)and then it just stops and wont go enymore.

I am out off idea's,can somebody give me some advise.

O yes and i can't get my agp R9800pro to work enymore on the dfi,it runs now with a pci TNT2 card,the R9800pro works fine on my nF2 mobo,but not on the dfi pffpfff.

maybe its your mem controller.

[thephenom]

u tried reinstallings windows?

or it could be ur mem controller, did you try memtest?

This may sound pretty obvious but did you try killing standby power for some 10 seconds?

Whenever i try to coldboot without killing standby power windows welcomes me with a nice blue screen. :mad:

Strangly, this problem only occurs with Windows 2K, XP never gave this problem but i think it has something to do with system initialiazion failing or something.

Just turn off your PSU for some 10 seconds, turn back on and switch on your PC, it works for me. ;)

u tried reinstallings windows?
That i gone do tomorow,but it is a very new install but i do a new one over it and see what that say's.
did you try killing standby power for some 10 seconds
Standby power is allways off,never use it.

Is it possible that the cpu memcontroller is fubar,he did not go over 1.7vcore(on water) and 3.5vdimm with good cooling,i have to buy another s754 board but witch one.

9800 wont work anymore either.... what psu are you using?
maybe it's a PSU issue

[G H Z]

That was my first thought also......PS

[RocKer]

Dont think its the psu,am using a Powerstream 520w.

But i have good news,i installed a fresh XPpro and i can now boot in to xp with no problem,hope it stay's like this,i will go and see if it will go to 240/250 with my bh5 corsair,it looks like it going to be ok,so it was nothing else then a new xp install to get it back to work :) ,me happy now;).

And i have put my old a64 UPMW 0426 back on it has 2legs broken off but it still works ok,so thats a lucky break,lets see if it go's back to 275 HTT like it did a month a go,then i will be a very happy guy:).

I will be back with some good results,i hope;),timmings are now at 2-2-2-8-10-16 T1 11x200.

O yes the cpu is on water now at 24°c.
