I have a horrible problem with my new SLI-DR. Unlike most of you my board has no problems at all posting but when I try to use the Boot From CD method to get my O/S to install the board just shuts down. It doesn't restart, it just shuts down. The thing is very confusing to me because it doesn't seem like theres anything wrong. On The Debug area, the light all the way to the left stays red until it reaches the point of booting of a CD, then it shuts off.
I have a bug where the pci devices are not detected and only the nForce LAN is detected.
Anyone experienced this at all?
I had been running various oc's for months prior to this happening.
I had the strangest problem, I think my GSkills are damaged btw. Anyway, I couldn´t boot stable at default settings, with every BIOS I tested. Not even with single channel, I can get into windows at default. I tested it, boot with single channel change ONLY the htt to like 225 or something. Shut the comp down, put in the other ram, BAM it works. But not good at all. Anyone else experienced this?? Just curious
I am having problems which I do not know what is causing it... I think I may have a defected motherboard. From time to time when I boot and load into windows it will tell me one of my video cards has been removed from my SLI...and other times when I go to check it it will say Video Cards need to be of a 4x Bandwidth speed or greater before enabling SLI. Now my problem right now is that I am having freezing issues and BSOD when installing any video drivers at all. I just did a clean install of Windows XP and went to install v78.01 and BSOD...after the reboot I got BSOD when it tried to load to desktop. I was running fine for awhile and I cannot seem to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. Also I did go back to stock clocks on everything as well an went back to Air-Cooling.
EDIT: Installed new Beta BIOS by BigToe 710-BTA no BSOD but I will continue to test on and see if it tells me one of my video cards has been removed. I have heard that some people were having problems with the PCI-e slots...the Top one mainly but its the bottom one I am having an issue with.
EDIT...AGAIN: Well After all of that the second video card will not start..says no resources left for it...WTF! Maybe I got a bad install of XP...It was giving me Memory errors might have not installed right...FORMAT again and will retry.
when is the pci/pci-e locked ? @ 100/101/105?
DFI 4 Leds Of Death -weird boot
my systems spec :
dfi ultra-d sli
amd64 sd3700
tr-XP90C
ocz el1024mb pc3200 rev2 TCCD
asus7800gtx
80g hd
enermax noisetaker 600w
every time pc switch on 4 leds light up,all fan ruuning including gfx fan
To boot:
still with 4 leds lights on mobo quickly switch off psu before 4 leds goes OFF turn it back on then pc will boot up without any problem even overclock to 2.9ghz
any idea what is the problem here
Does anyone know what "DRAM response time" setting in bios does and if it has any impact on performance?
I can't get windows to load when i set this setting to "fastest" , "fast" seems fine but i wonder if "normal" gives more stability.
Anyone?
I think the DDR have more performance at Fast and fastest...anywise for OC many say it' s better use normal for stability... But good ask and i have not the response for what it do exactly...
Dram response time changes the Max Async Latency.
Ok I am having a really weird issue and it is only when I am using one video card. The 6800GT OC is installed into the top PCIe slot and when I run a JAVA Application like Azureus I will get a weird Screen flash where everything looks overlayed in 640x480 mode or I will have serious system hangs with PC Speaker Beeps. What could be causing this...also a program like LimeWire also for example will make my PC hang and lock up completely. Why does my PC hate JAVA?
Now when I was running Dual 6800GT OC I did not have this problem. I am going to try the bottom PCIe slot when I get home and switch the jumpers and test it then. I can not seem to find anything on this issue. I am thinking I have a defective motherboard. And with any BIOS it does this as well.
Don't know if this is the right spot. But anyhoo.
If you look under the memory tab in cpu-z starting with frequency and stops with dram idle timer. What are does values translated into the bios of the dfi nf4. Which is which.
confused newbie.
Would like to learn more about this. :p: - more mhz thingy

I just got my DFI UT SLI-DR .. has anyone had any usb issues.. mine seems a lil flaky sometimes i have to unplug and plug back in for the usb device.. everything from printer to mouse. I dont use anything ps2 ..although i was forced to during setup and installation of windows.
Ive tried the jumpers on the mobo and problem remains.. I had nothing like this with my Abit AN8-SLI .. i would like to keep this board as its a great overclocker.. but its a pain unplugging the usb devices because of the case location.
Update your BIOS...there was USB issues in some of the older BIOS.

The one by bigtoe has been the best BIOS for overclocking...now are you willing to use a BETA BIOS or do you want a official BIOS?
Is official just get the newest one from DFI's website.
For BETA BIOS get bigtoes 702-2BTA BIOS.
I dare don't post this over at the DFI forums but has anyone lost their cpu and harddrive due while running a DFI ultra/SLI board?
I ask this because I finished putting together my new system in sig over last weekend. All was great and running smoothly with my Opty running at 10x300 without a hiccup. I decided to prime it and after 45min or so the system completely shut down and never to booted again. I was monitoring my temps and never reached 40c with 1.52v going thur my Opty. The board powered up a few times but never posted. Cleared CMOS pulled battery and still no boot. After around the 10th time the board refused to power.
So I RMA my DFI Ultra and get another in today. Reinstalled everything, board powered up but won't post as the 4 red lights show during debug. I pull out my Opty and install 3700+ and board now post but stuck on DFI post screen. Disconnected all drives and board finally post and able to get into bios. Set up bios and then shutdown. Plugged in WD Raptor and board refuses to recognize the drive. Yes SATA is enabled.
So end of story tried the drive in my friends MSI Neo and also does not recognize drive. I have a new OCZ 520SLI and my voltages during the crash were around as follows.
+3.3=3.32v
+5= 5.11v
+12= +12.41v
Would like to know if the 12v line caused this or the mobo. I've RMA'd the board and can do the same for the Raptor but I loose my 3gig Opty as I removed the IHS. :(
Hello Friends,
First that everything thank you to read this topic.
The reason for the which I write it is because for a time my DFI doesn't want to accept 2 x 512 MB of OCZ Rev2.
When I put one alone, the system works perfect but when I add the second module the system non boot and 2 LEDS always lights.
I have attempted in the yellow and oranges slots but the result is the same one.
This is the configuration:
- AMD 3700+ SD (Stock)
- DFI Ultra-D (6.23-3)
- OCZ Plt Rev2 (512mb x 2)
- MSI 6600GT
- Fortron BlueStorm (AX500-A)
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you for all the collaboration that you can offer me.
Until soon.
I just got and installed the SLI-D today, the UT version... I guess that's only UT? Anyways, there's no serial connector on the back of the mobo, but I see the manual says "1 connector for 1 external serial port" something-a-rather.... but I have no cable for this, or see where such a cable would hook onto the mobo.. Does anyone know what I can do? My digital bay LIS POP uses serial... I guess I might be SOL.. but thought I would ask.
Hi .
last 2 days i found this bug , but not the fix yet.
When i use the 5v jumper [with 24pin psu enermax 600 , is ok all rails] my mobo dont give vdimm higher than 3.25 . and when boots sets 2.54vdimm :O and after 2-3 seconds reboots again and gives 3.25 [from 3.4 i set ]
ill try clrcmos , several bioses , nothing . The mobo is stuck at 3.25 when i use the 5v jumper . with 3.3 jumper all works fine 3.1 i set 3.1 gives , 2.9 set 2.9 gives ect ect ect/.
What the h*ll is going here?
ps. dfi nf4 ultra D
ps2 Cpu vcore is adjusted manualy
no-one ?
Here is the setup:
DFI nf4 ultra-D
opteron 144 cab2e stock hsf (for now)
2x512MB geil golden dragon pc-4000 2.5-4-4-7 @ddr500
x700 pro 256MB
Powersupply is ThermalTake Silent Purepower W0009R 420W PS
(20-pin)
problem: i am having bad stability issues
seems to lockup randomly within winxp pro sp2
was locking up before installation of winxp, getting it to get through the installation without freezing was a trying process
im PRETTY SURE that ive got the dram settings in BIOS configured correctly
oddly i cant get the ram to run at CAS 3.0 only 2.5
i have updated to the newest bios 623-3
ive tried tweaking the RAM numerous ways and although it seems a little more stable
it does still crash when on stock/loose settings just as often as anything else
oh yeah, i have run super pi 1M at just under 3.0ghz numerous times
it does seem to lock up more when im browsing multiple windows of multi-tabbed firefox, but perhaps thats just because its how i use my computer most often
my thoughts:
1)possibly power supply, ive just noticed that it says 18A on the +12v
is this too low?
ive already ordered an OCZ ModStream ATX 2.01 520W Power Supply
thinking the PSU was the likely culprit
2)memory incompatibility
any thoughts suggestions?
Hello, you must set the vcore to anything other than "AUTO", then save & exit. After the reboot all volts above 3.2 will be available. I know thats not the most logical thing, but thats the deal.Quote:

EDIT: I now see it says on bottom of your post that you adjusted manually, sorry. I have used the same board with the 5v rail with CH-5's and BH-5's, and all 6-23 and 704-2bta BIOS, with never a problem. You should contact DFI's tech support or visit DFI-Street.com
I'm sorry if this was said already (huge thread), but this make it sound like JP17 will stableize any voltage. When its actually harmful to use the 5v rail for under 3.3v. It forces the regulator to covert it back down and causes alot of heat and stress. I'm sure you know this, but for a newb reading that, maybe it could be more clear? Thanks.Quote:
