@Oskar Wu.....give this man a Job!
No warrys man I know what I got myself into just wanna see windows on that computer thats all... I changed to the Corsairs memory and cleared the CMOS and try'd again always C1 like before.. So I hold down the DELETE and i was able to get in the bios again.
Where is the options to " raise the Northbridge and VTT voltages one notch and set memory voltage to 2.2 " ?
If i was to try to continue out of the bios I always get stuck here

Ok you want me to set each one of those to the one on picture or? or DRAM on 2.2V right? and what about the rest? Dont touch them or?
And by the way I cant seem to find those settings anywhere I look'd around but cant find them..

Ok, from the screen in the pic you posted go to "Genie BIOS Setting". You will then be in the screen posted below. Select "Voltage Setting" and you will have access to the screens I posted above. Whatever the Northbridge and CPU VTT settings are raise them one setting.

can you just tell me what should I set each one of them to? I just found them! Should I change the DRAM to 2.190V? Thanks for all your help guys!
I started to install windows but I'm not sure if I was to restart the computer if it will start right up or ill still need to mess with the voltages. I'm very thankful for all your help guys! Thanks!
I STRONGLY Urge you to Read this thread about 3-4 times:clap:
As for all those voltages and stuff I have only changed the DRAM from 1.9 to 2.19 and nothing else! I don't wanna mess with the rest just yet... I just wanna get windows started for the first time thats all! Thanks!
By the way Esau I'm coming to you for the help with overclocking that Q6600 from 2.4 to something over 3? But that's yet to come... hope you wont mind? =)))
overclocking is pretty easy on this board noobstorm... just take time and patient.
I have no idea how its done yet but ill take my time on this... I just started to install windows on the HD and see what is going to happend after its done! And I hope it boots right up and I dont need to hold the DEL key down in order to boot the computer this time! Thanks!

Out of curiousity what Bios do you have installed? If its 8/10/07 Shipping Bios I suggest you Flash to 9/13/07 Official:welcome:
As soon as I get windows booted ill install the bios you told me, by the way where can I download those bios from?
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downloa...FLAG=A&SITE=US
If thats the right place which one from all of them?
And thats how to install them right?
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/mb_faq...YPE=US&SITE=US
THANKS!
Select the First option on the page "DIAMOND FLASH IMAGE" and dowload to desktop and Extract to Fresh Formatted Floppy Disk......
When Flashing the Bios Please Clear Cmos via Jumper pin prior to Flashing Bios!
Boot up after clearing Cmos press F1 to Continue and it will automatically Boot from Floppy Drive have DFI 9/13/07 Bios in Floppy drive just wait for it to finish Flashing (it takes a while) be patient! Just let it do its thing and when its finished it will ask you to remove Floppy Disk and Press F1 to reset DO NOT PRESS F1........just manually Power Down from the Power Button..
Unplug PSU power cord from Back of power Supply
Wait 5 minutes Open case and move cmos jumper to clear "Do Not Remove Battery"!
Depress Power Button for 2 minutes to drain remaining Juice from Motherboard Capacitors and leave Jumper in clear position for 10 minutes.
After 10 Minutes...Replace cmos Jumper to Normal Position
Power up / Press Delete to get into Bios//// Load Optimized Defaults /// Save/Exit////// You're Done!
Wear a Anti Static Wrist Band to avoid "E.S.D"= (Electro. Static. Discharge)
Try if you can when opening case if you can avoid it don't do it on Carpet!:clap:
Thank you very much Esau ill let you know how it went!

I try to install it on a old ATA 20GB hard drive I had but something went wrong... So right now I'm installing it on one of my 500GB hard drives Just got done with formating it and installing windows its now time for the settings and all that stuff... by the way it said something about the battery not passing windows logo or something like this? Whats with that? Did not understand it...
You may have a bad cmos Battery other than that thats the only Batter in the system! Bad Cmos Battery will create allot of problems Take one from another Motherboard or go to Radio shack and ask for a 3.3v Cmos Battery.Quote:
