200nm and 130nm....
pity me,but syok la,think to buy one X6800 to play and keep this QX6700....
bro almostthere,this time,i'm really an intel certified extreme's eggs boiler

@lexus65,wait for my screenie.

LOL, back to Pentium 4 days huh? Me, if I'm going to go Quadie, I'm gonna wait for the 45nm versions (ala Penryn and gang) before I make my decision as I suspect it's gonna be running much cooler (95W TDP for Q6600 is a hint) since I noticed the G0 stepping C2D's (Those of E6X50 series) are running at MUCH lower VCore. In fact IINM, booting voltage is around 1.0v stock and FCG managed to OC a E6550 at 7*550Mhz using 1.36v only

wah....new generation proc so

anyway,me still student,no money to go for 45nm liao....going to be giggolo if i really wan to...

dun worry bout the price la. AFAIK, it'll be around how much we're paying for post 22nd July. The question is around August when DFi launches their P35 and X38 mobo's. I know X38 will be for Lan Party but will the P35 be our Dark's worthy successor?

Can what?
You're handsome mah.



DFI Infinity P35-S?

no la bro shawty,i'm an uncle....nobody wan even rm5....

and one thing,the DFI P35 will be DFI Infinity D.A.R.K. P35-S

Sure ka? Your rig doesn't seem to suggest that? And didn't I see you interested in the QX6800 the other day?

Hmmm..... if DFI's board is better, maybe I'll sell off my GA-P35-DS3 and get one of these!!!!

why does everytime when i turn on my pc, it will power up for 3-5 sec. then turn off (no BIOS post shown)

after 2-3 sec. the pc will turn on again, then it will enter the BIOS

why ar? already look at the BIOS option, nothing found (or did i missed it )

isit just my board or u guys experienced it as well

That's normal for the DFI Infinity P965-S Board.


That means your bios is corrupted.

It ask for the drive A because it asks for a floppy drive that has the bios file.
Put the bios 0424 that you've downloaded from DFI website, then put the bios file into the floppy drive.

Boot your pc, then the system will detect the bios file in the floppy drive automatically then it will flash itself.

Once the flashing done, then your system is back like a new board.

yup,bios corrupted like bro shawty said.

anyway,how could it happen with just black out?
when pc running in windows and black out,it supposes bios no problem one,how come the bios will corrupted?

(i thought only flashing bios will corrupt the bios?)

^might heavily overcloking will affect the BIOS ROM

not sure also

glad to hear that

same answer found on Google, will try that method later (need to find a floppy drive )

dunno, after black out, wanna turn it on --> BIOS post those message

it's not like i'm updating BIOS, just hearing music

no OCing done yet, waiting fund to upgrade my ram - Crucial Ballastix

So E-J@1, any good news or updates from your problem?

just about when i wanna try ur method (after long & hard search for a floppy drive), decide to give a last try --> turn on the pc, guess what, the pc is back to normal again dunno why

although i can enter BIOS but fail to pass the Windows Startup Screen suspect the OS already corrupted --> so after restore 3 different Image also cannot boot... no choice have to reformat

nobody here faced the same problem like i did?

My advise is for you to update the bios or at least, flash it to the original bios you're using right now.

There's a possibility that the bios is still corrupted.
Corrupted bios also may lead to fail to load windows.

Try updating the bios first, then try to load the windows back, if that fails, then you may continue with reformating.

All in all, it's up to you to make your choice, i am just giving advise.

I think the more likely version will be

DFI Infinity COOL P35-S

where can i get the original BIOS? got it in DFI website?

here you go...

Official
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios..._FLAG=A&SITE=US

Beta
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios..._FLAG=B&SITE=US

which version is the original one? the initial release ka?

damn, i just read on how to update the BIOS, last time i updated the BIOS (ver. I96PD424) without turning the "update all" option, maybe that's the reason why my BIOS ROM corrupted silly me, should read it thoroughly

Wait, you're updating your motherboard bios in windows?
For god's sakes bro, don't do that.
Flash your bios in dos mode to be at the safest area.

Yea i know someone will say, "i've flashed bios in windows many times oso nothing happen?" yes, you're lucky.
But seriously, if you love your motherboard, flash bios in dos. Not windows.

Flashing bios in windows is prone to many error, since in windows, there's always data transferred in each second.
