DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 - First bench, bios screens etc

[eva2000]

hey eva, you keep on doing good things with the 920.
I was hoping you'd pop your head in on the thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=211579&page=9
You know this board really well and I was hoping you can give me some help.
My two 4870X2's wont post at all and I get error 26. I've tried both clearing cmos and cold cmos (battery), changing slots etc etc.The only way the system will boot is with my spare 4870 (not watercooled). I think it might be the bios, I'm still using the boxed version as I only finished the build a week ago. Tried to update the bios with a usb boot, but no go. It refuses to boot from the usb, even though is set up properly in bios to boot from usb.
I've pulled this loop apart 4 times already and I'm out of ideas with this DFI.
Any suggestions? have you come across this problem before?
Oh and I've also tried increasing mem lowgap +2560, but nothing.
Cheers mate.

Never experienced such myself. Which PCI-E x16 slots you using ? for CF it's 1st and very last PCI-E x16 slots so double slot spacing in between






I'd first get the bios update sorted out before 4870x2 CF. As to bios update you could be suffering the slow/freeze like bios update when some boards the user loaded a pre-saved older bios cmos profile over a newer system bios. Tips #4, #5 and #6 http://i4memory.com/102537-post3.html address the bios issue if your's is similar. Full details http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-ut-x58-t...eleased-13876/ and solution http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showpos...&postcount=158 (just no need to reload ABS profile if you never installed ABS software). That should take care of the bios updating.
