bad luck lor...while flashing the bios, i felt that sumthing was wrong cos it's not my first time flashing using flash menu. but then the restart pop up did appear so i thought everything's fine. who knows, after it power off, it nvr power on again.

emm...try to turn off all the power...
make sure no hav any power in ur psu...
try to reset jumper...
after all switch on power, n try to switch on ur pc...
hopefully ur mobo fine

cubchai,do u smell any BURN??

anyway..try reset and see..

tried and failed.

i don't smell any burn. but then i think i reset cmos too many times. i was doing memtest and it kept failing and a reset in cmos is needed. then i decided to flash back to original bios and forget the clocking. then this problem occurred. i'm waiting for my friend's nf7-s to do hot flash. btw , is it the same bios chip?

why do you put back the original bios

what! mantarays not good for your rig ka?

i have one nf7v2 for sale. wonder how much would it be? anyone interested PM me.. haha.. offtopic

what was wrong?

if the bios file is corrupted,
then you really need to hotflash already.

OT:
Does anyone tried pushing FSB with stock BIOS? My friend's NF7-S can hit 250fsb easily with stock bios lol. Mine only hits 240 with D26 mantaray....1.7 Vdd.

stock as in the version 22?

when i use mantarays, memtest of RAM 180Mhz at lose timings oso cannot. i remembered before mantarays, i can do higher than 180.
this weekend going to kl lor, my fren offer me his pc to hotflash. i asked around many shops in my hometown on hot flash. all shops suggested me to download bios, put in floppy and flash lor. then i told them ok ok, i will try if my pc can boot up.

wat model mobo did u use it??

NF7, the first batch i think.

floppy and flash is hard thing to do ler!

better hotflash.

pitty you.

BTW:d26 mantarays xt 2t can give me ram 2.8v timming 2-2-2-11,,, + fsb max is 230 ,,,, before this i use stock bios can't do it.,,, and all this with rm45 450W psu.

My RAM DDR333 only. I'm not aiming for superb high FSB, 200-220, i happy liao. i bringing only the bios chip to hotflash. damn panic, if after the hotflash, bring back hometown still cant boot up. i was considering bringing the mobo along.

we all here wanna wish u the best of luck.

it's a quite risky job to do.

thanks for the wish. i know it's risky. the most panic part is , i scared i drag down my friend's mobo. can someone list out the risks of hot flashing?

for ur reference:

AXP DTR Barton 2600
Abit NF7 (Vdimm modded)
Tictac D26 Mantaray XT CPC ON (1T)
Kingston HyperX BH5

Prime Stable:2773Mhz


Max bootable at window:2.9Ghz


Max Fsb Overclocked: 267Mhz

aiya..bh5, is it a PC3200? for the mantarays, did you disable APIC?

i've experience that disable APIC will give you lower performance.

Is there anyway to maximize the potential of a mobo? Mine seems to max out at 225Mhz. Anything over, Prime95 fails at exactly 7 minutes. Always exactly 7 Minutes.

Check my sig for my specs. Oh, and I'm using D26 Mantarays XT 2T.
