I might even buy a EPROM programmer if the cheap $40.00 ones will do these chips. It looks the chip blanks are about $3.00 or so. I'd MUCH rather do that than deal with ANY type of RMA to Newegg OR DFI. (Unless I could call DFI and get them to send me one. Sadly I suspect that they'd rather I go through the entire RMA process with newegg... even though I doubt there is anything wrong with the motherboard, ram or CPU.)

FRUSTRATION. :-P

Guess I should have flashed that 3/31/08 beta bios... maybe this might not have happened.

I am rapidly wishing I had picked another brand. I got this because it had the best onboard sound and I liked the transpiper. But having something that WORKS would be better than anything else. And of course Newegg won't refund these. So I guess I just bought a lemon. Now I'll go buy something that will work and write off the $250.00
Calm down man and relax OK? If you get a C1 Error Please unplug the PSU for a couple of minutes and move the Jumper to clear position and after a couple of minutes reverse the process. Please wait at least 4o seconds after the PSU is plugged back in to power up.

Let us know how it goes Just got back online had to Install my new Super Micro Hot Swap Sata Cage in my Rig and install the ram and change out the heatsink for the stock AMD one will be putting my Tuniq in my DFI Expert system and sending my CoolIt TEC Cooler in this way I will be motivated enough to do so with temps that are 15c higher on stock heatsink I think I should be able to pull the hooks out of my ass and get this done finally

The Bios Chip thing....Don't have any chips right now have to put a order in for a 100 or so for Intel/AMD 8mb Flash chips just have been pre occupide with my cat getting deathly ill and almost dying and all that nightmare past couple of weeks. But if you need the chip Flashed and you cannot recover from C1 Error I'll throw it on my programmer for you and you can owe me a favor and do some beta testing for bios after you get situated with the board and all ..........Trust me no other experience comes close in the Overclocking world compared to the DFI Experience
