DFI Lanparty NF4 ulta-d

[ObscureParadox]

Ok so here's my problem, I want to start benching my dfi board so I can gain some hardware points on HWbot, but for some reason I can't get my motherboard to boot with my sempron 3200+, I mean I can do it by clearing cmos every time, but as soon as I switch the board off or same changes in BIOS, the thing won't boot and I have four lights. Now if I put my athlon 3200+ in then everything works fine first time, I know my sempron isn't faulty as when I clear cmos and get into windows, I can run prime 95 for as long as I want, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx.

what are you changing in the bios???

 

[ObscureParadox]

It's if I change anything, it doesn't matter what I change, the same thing happens everytime

and its not the battery either, just tried two other brand new ones.

I should add its the same if I load defaults then save and exit.

It would seem the "defaults" are not suitable for the processor. Have you tried setting it up all manually? I would go through option by option and make sure they are all correct for the current hardware set up.

I will go through them all again in the morning when I have a chance, I don't understand why the defaults would be unsuitable if it loads into windows with the defaults after I clear cmos, its pretty strange, I'm also led to believe that 4 lights means its hanging on boot, I.E its not booting into the BIOS, I don't understand why this is happening but ill have a look at all the settings in the morning to make sure that none of them are incorrect. Do you think I BIOS flash might help with this?
