I just killed my computer - Page 3

Pull the battery, clear the jumper and leave it out for 20 minutes.
While you are doing that, try switching your video card to the second PCI-E slot and see if that changes anything.
I'm more and more thinking your board died.
It also would not hurt to try and contact DFI tech support and at least ask about an RMA....you don't have any paperwork, but realize that these boards have I think a three year warranty, and since the board has onlt been on the market half that time, they should replace it

alright i restarted the computer agian and it seemed to have worked although there was some sort of message that said checksum error and insert ram into dimm slot 2 for dual channel, which sort of scared me.

Capper · June 17th, 2006

ok, now that itas booting, turn it off, and insert the memory back into the orange slots, and reboot.
That error message I thought was cleared up in later BIOS revisions, maybe not, I'm not too sure.....try the orange slots, and if that doesn't work, try the yellows

ok. Its back to normal again. Thank god. Although, if my ram was destroyed, i'd get new gold xtcs. Oh well. at least it works again.

You don't need a warranty paper.

All depends on what speed

Capper · June 17th, 2006

you'd be surprised at how little memory timings matter....in the end CPU clock speed is the biggest factor

Don't we all!
DFI is about as good as you'll get, ASUS is pretty good, as MSI, but I doubt any will run 300FSB 24/7 without good coooling and supporting components

Wanna bet? =D

Also Lead Head stop talking like that. Seriously, try it before talking.
