problems nf7-s v2/memory

17th December 2004, 14:43

I'm having some serious troubles over here with my nf7-s.
I can only boot (sometimes) with the memory in the first slot (wich sucks, because that's only 256Mb :'( ).
If there's something in the second or third slot (combination or not), then it won't boot.

It actualy started yesterday, when I was having some seriouse folding problems and only 6min prime stable memory.
So, I decided to take out my memory, clean it (lost of dust) en reseat it. It all worked yesterday, this morning, 15min ago, but no it won't work anymore :grum: .
There's also another problem. Sometimes (most of the time), when I boot, it realy goes slooooow and my usb keeps going on and off (optic mouse is flashin) and then I have to reset it.

Anybody an idea ???

My sys:
NF7-s V2.0 (bios 26 if I remember correctly)
XP2500+ @ 3200+
Twinmos 2*256Mb DDR400 (mtec 50b)
Sapphire R9600PRO
WD120 sata
Belkin NIC
cd-rw (dead btw), dvd-rw, fdd, fans, aerogate, ...
Aopen 350W psu.

ok, after trying for over 5 times, it finaly works again (exept for the flashin mouse problem).

It seems that the mem wasn't in the slots for 100% (my mobo bents when installing mem w/o proper support) so I had to lay my hand underneath the mobo to support it (man, that hurts).

Gonna see if there's a new bios and then I'll try flashing it (if my memory doesn't fail anymore).

Always mount mobo with proper supports provided.
Have you tried clearing CMOS?

Hey, does it mean you have overclocked your system so hard? And you ask what's the problem?

2500+ to 3200+ is not a extreme oc you know. But he just told the ram made bad contact with the mobo. I find it quite strange because the NF-S has holes for mobo stand-offs near the ram. Or it must be a system without case.

And idd, he's asking a question

Everything runs at stock volt (Vcore= 1.6V , Vdimm = 1.65V, Vdd= 1.4V (even a lot lower) , so that's not a problem (I think

).

I think they just made a bad contact, because those old standoffs (PI stile) are a bit loose and tend to mover

.
[size=1]damned, still didn't looked for a bios :rod: )
