I both a new DFI mobo yesterday and ran into some problems with it and I would appreciate if some one cold help me out.
The mobo installation was very easy and windows installed without errors or other problems.
I installed the nForce 4 chip drivers, nVidia graphics drivers (I currently use 71.90 but dried the official drivers to). I left the bios settings to default.
The system seemed to work ok. The temperatures are good (CPU is 30-44 and chip is 40-45 and the graphics temp is 30-50). But when I dried to watch a move this happened: it runs about few minutes and then my PC freezer for a 3 sec or more and my monitor screen goes black (like the monitor refreshes itself) and then it recovers and the move runs fine (no crash or system errors its like the PC was on heavy load or smt).
The same thing is with 3Dmark test. When I start the test it starts the 3Dmark03 program, the screen freezer and then goes black. After some seconds have passed it comes back and continues to load the program. Turing the 3Dmark03 test the PC screen freezer about every 4 or 5 sec. For example: In the first 3Dmark03 test it runs about 5 sec with good fps and then suddenly it freezes, then the screen goes black and after the picture comes pack the test continues for 5 sec and then freezes again....
My monitor works fine (y) so there seems to be some instability problem with my pc.
Only thing I noticed that my CPU gets only 1.36V ( I had this 1.4 with asus mobo). I tried to find the setting in bios but there are so many options there and because I just got this mobo I haven?t tested and studied the bios options that much. If someone has the same mobo please could he tell me how exactly I can change the CPU voltages to 1.4V
And I only connected the 4 pin (+12V) connector and the 24 pin connector to my mobo.
Should I try to connect the extra molex (HDD type) and that other (FDD type) to my DFI motherboard? I read that it was only necessary if I run SLI system but I have only one card (Single Card mode) so is it safe to give it some extra power when running only one graphics card?
I searched the forum but dint find anything about this problem.
:shocked:
edit: I found this web page which shows the recommended memory for DFI nF4 Recommended memory and my memory is listed there: its PC3200 (DDR400) Kingston/512MB *(KVR400X64C25/512) so my memory should work nicely with this motherboard.
