ok, new here...not new to pc hardware at all but havnt had much chance to do my own builds due cash flow reasons
using a 939 opteron 146 cacje with a dfi nf4 ultraD (with GEIL PC3200 and an XFX 6800GS), but the dfi is giving me total f*ing failure on its diagnostic LEDs..ie cpu not properly detected, along with ram and HDs and gfx.
i think its a cumulative thing so even if the dimms etc are in fine , if your cpu isn't detected you still get all the diagnostic LEDs on. so 1st matter would be getting the CPU detected.
as far as i can tell everything is ok...cleaned the HSF and stuck ceramique on it and the cpu, got the HSF on and made sure i didnt crush the cpu, plugged in the fan .........so....erm...not sure what to do now. i've reinstalled the CPU (after inspecting for bent pins...none) but again no joy
