Hi, just a tip for everyone having any stability problems, try uninstalling all nvidia drivers + the network access manager then install v6.53 but do not install the network access manager, also try using the marvell lan port instead since I find that I have less problems that way. As for the firewall u'll have to use something else (i.e. zonealarm) for now since the nvidia hardware firewall seems unstable for now..
guys i need your help.
well if u guys have looked at my old thread .. basically my system was running all fine and dandy lol .. when i switched from 2x512mb of gskill le's to 2x1gb crucial ballistix .. all i did was swap them in .. just changed the timing to 3-3-3-8 .. the voltage was at 2.9 .. no problems .. system ran great for 2-3 weeks .. then my system crashed .. always has happened from time to time with windows for some reason .. so as my system reboots .. i boot into the bios .. 6-23 is what i was running .. after seeing how most people are running their crucial ballistix at 2.6-2.7 .. i decided to lower mine to 2.7 ... after that ..havent successfully booted at all ...
sometimes it will post so i can go into the bios .. i load optimized defaults .. reboot .. and then all the leds pass except for the last one which is what it should be .. but i get no video .. just hangs .. then if i power down and power back on .. it will have 3 leds lit up .. which is memory and will give a long beep .. over and over ..
another time i had it boot up and hang at 2 leds .. which is video .. i have reseated the video card .. etc .. i know the video card should be ok ..
originally i thought my motherboard bit the dust .. so i got another sli-dr board .. just to check .. same problem .. when i first connected everything up ..it booted right to the bios .. i loaded optimized defaults and BAM .. same thing .. i rebooted and the monitor just goes black .. u know what i mean .. like when u shut the pc off but leave the monitor on .. then if i power down .. and try to repower back on .. 3 leds with that long beep over and over .. it really sucks and is driving me mad .. im having pc withdrawal ... i dont have any other memory to swap in ..
Similar as what i faced...
Try set to cl2 see can it go?
i hv these problem after i change ram from tccd to hynix, then hynix -> tccd...
and after all, it face same problem as xtremebandwidth>OCZ 3200EL Rev2 CL2.5 not go?

jetjaguar,
mind you telling me, what revision is your motherboard, rev A03?
Sorry i didn't bother going through all 43 pages :slapass: but i'd like to know how to plug in my 20pin ATX connector.
Is it as close as possible against the IDE connectors with the top 4 holes left open?
There is only one way, otherwise it doesn't "click" in :)
Thanks, nice 'n foolproof.
Even i could do it. :)
problems. just installed 3000+ on dfi ut nf4 and posts fine with 2 gigs. crucial (2x1gb)/ loaded windows fine on 4 300gb maxtor 10 raid 0. flashed bios winflash using official dfi bios latest one (1st one on the top of the page) reboots fine. post fine. swapped to the x2 3800+ and no post. cleared cmos. held insert key. no post. using yellow dimms. swapped ram to 1 512 stick. no post...... swapped back to 3000+ and post fine. something is wrong here. i have ocz 520w powerstream and a 6600gt. any clues? Is this power related? or bios problem? or cpu? I am out of ideas. oh. the 4 leds on board stay on for 30 seconds and then it drops to 1 led and then beeps 1 long but no post. there are no bent pins
You sure? LoL...you would be surprised with some people these days...let me know how it goes :D :p:Quote:

I also keep having video problems with any drivers I use...sometimes the driver will upload all together and sometimes the screen with flash to a solid color and I have to reset the computer. I have Dual BFG 6800GT OCs...has anyone else seen this problem?
Hello,
I have a stange problem, since few days my pc has been acting weird, not stable, reboots, bsods, mostly I could solve it by using other memory, single channel, bh-5 dual channel. But now it crashes in windows, just with the start up sound, and it hangs there, so I turn off power.
Hardware specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ venice
Board: DFI LP NF4 SLI-DR rev a3 I believe
Mem: -Gskill TCCD 2x512mb PC4400 LE
-Corsair xms3500 v1.1 bh-5 2x256mb
-Samsung 512mb pc2700 TCB3
I have used bios 510, 623 and 702 but its not helping me.
I have same problem with all the memory, at first it would work with the bh-5 or the samsung, couldnt go higher than 210mhz 2-2-2-5 with the bh-5 (not good at all, but it was stable).
They all pass memtest86. So theres no problem with the memory itself of the ram timings. (I think)
Ram Timings:
Vddr: 2.7v - 2.9v
200mhz 1:1
CPC: enable
Tcl: 2.5
Trcd: 3
Tras: 6
Trp: 3
Trc: 9 when not stable 12-16
Trfc: 14 when not stable 16-17
Trrd: 2
Twr: 2
Twrt: 2
Trwt: 2
Tref: 4708 (166MHz 1.95us) or 3072
Twcl: 1
Bank int.: Enable
Skew control: increase skew, but set at 0
Drive strength: 7
Data strength: auto
Max. Async: 7-8ns
Read Preamble: 5ns
Idle Cycle: AUTO but when stable I use 32
Dyn. Counter: Enable
R/W Bypass: 16x
Bypass Max: 7x
32Bit Gran.: Disable(4 bursts)
Hi All,
I hope someone can help me, not sure what info you require, but here goes.
Basically I bought a DFI lan party nf4 ut Ultra mobo with an amd64 3000+ chip. Installed and all worked ok until I installed any antivirus. It works but when I shutdown it bluescreens and restarts. If I don't have the antivirus it works fine.
I have the firewall and active armour running, the bios is set to stock standard. I have tried with the firewall etc uninstalled and the antivirus and zonealarm running. Same deal with the bluescreens and shutdown. I am using the nvidia Lan port and not the marvel at the moment.
I've read through various posts and tried different things with regards to the firewall and still no joy.
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
ya this board has some problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am at wits end with this board...
Can ANYONE tell me why and how to get my gig of VX4000 to
run together...I can only run one 512 stick...Both sticks memtest
at 250 cas 2.0-2-2-5....
I have tried just about every bios (now im on 7/042BTA
the only slot i can get ONE stick tp work in is Orange one
farthest from the CPU
Specs as follows...
nF4 Ultra-D
3700+ sandy
2x512 OCZ PC4000 VX Gold Edition 2-3-3-8
Antec neo power 480
X850 XT-PE
TT Tower112 @ stock voltage 29c idle 38c load
Try the 510 and 623 series BIOS. 510 works best for me now sure which revision of it is best for your memory but the orange slots are the best to use for overclocking. Give it a try man. Be patient with it...it takes some time...it took me awhile to find the right BIOS believe me I was sick of screwing with it too...I can't tell you how many times I yelled and screwed and sat on default clocks for awhile LoL.
Hello guys, I just bought this board yesterday with a BFG 7800 gt oc, and I've been having problems, my complete setup is:
DFI NF4 UT SLI-D
X2 4400+ [Stock speeds on everything except video obviously]
2x512 OCZ EL Gold PC4400 [2.5-4-4-8-2t]
WD Raptor, Maxtor sata, Maxtor ide
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Deluxe
BIOS: N4D623-3
the only problem so far is I've been getting "machine_check_exception" BSOD's every now and then, I read somewhere to keep the NB fan on at all times so I set it to full > 25c and now I just also set the nb volt to 1.7V
I haven't been able to find many things about this particular error with this board but I would be greatful if you guys can help, thanks.
You shouldn't have to change the Chipset voltage at all...I have never changed mine with any clocks and I have had no problems. And it might be the BIOS you are using...test others...I had a lot of trouble just trying to find a BIOS that would allow me to even get stock stable or even an overclock.Quote:

Yeah I posted it on the DFI Forums over there LoL...
I have OCZ Gold Series RAM (look in Sig) and I haven't recieved my processor yet, so I was wondering if there will be any problems with it in my SLI-DR?
