The difference btw 1, 2, 3 is only the default settings in bios ???

Meh my problems sorted, I had a dodgy Tagan UO1, new Tagan UO1 and all problems gone!
I cleared the CMOS with the battery out and the PSU unplugged (not just the switch turned off) and put my VX in slot 1. That finally let me boot with 510-2. Not sure if that will help anyone else...

I would like to test a new version of BIOS. I just RMA'd my OCZ PC 4000 VX memory. I will have the new sticks any day. DFI told me to drop my settings to 3.2 Volt. I was going to go with the 618-2 Bios but at this point, I will try whatever. I guess I will get to try my yellow slots too, even though before, I had to use the orange.
I miss my OCZ. I am using some cheap crap from SAM's club. Slow slow slow. My OCZ used to kick butt. I hope it will again soon when this issue is resolved. I still love you DFI and OCZ!!!

the 623 is the best bios to use as it actually sets a higher vdimm at boot i am told...the early i bios i had off oskar was just no good.
Try the 623 and see how you do
Got a problem with your OCZ product....?

Thanks! I will. By the way, with the replacement memory, can I go back to 3.5 Volt or should I stay at 3.2 like DFI suggests? Would the booster help any or this that for mobo's with limited voltage settings. I have read some good stuff on the booster, but I have also seen posts that said the booster did nothing for them on the DFI Lanparty Ultra D nF4.

i just recieved my new VX4000 back from rma. and the boot issue is gone. but i flashed to 623-2 in the mean time so im not quite sure if its the new mem or new bios.
but one thing i did notice is that the heatspreaders of the new ram get warm at 3.2v while the old sticks hs' were always cold even at 3.5v
so my guess is that the hs' on the old sticks had bad contact and this way the dimms could have died from heat - is this likely?
Well I Have ruled out the 5volt causing cold boot on my sticks.
Sticks never bios flashed with
Never went over 3.5 volts
Only ever used jumper trick
I had a stick "die" on me, well I thought it had I tryed everthing I could to get it to boot but alas it didnt work. I raised an RMA, then read someone had the same problem then reflashed from 510-2 to 618-2, quess what it came back to life.
A couple of weeks later I booted and nothing 3 LED beep. I maanged to boot with a single stick so I reflashed again (with 618-2) This time after clearing CMOS all I got was a hanging @ boot screen. I tryed for days, after ringing my supplier he told me to return the board.
Guess what happened when he got the board......it worked first time
On recieving the board back sure enough both sticks worked...well worked for the some total of three cold boots. i then managed to boot with a single stick, 2 sticks would give 3 leds beebs.
I then reflashed AGAIN this time to 615 and all is well for now.
Im starting to think that this maybe is hardware issue that will NOT be fixed with Bios review.

so is the cold boot fixed or not, should only use the 3.2v max when i receive new dfi mobo and ocz vx sticks?

ok, ive tried 331-2 and 510-2 now. and theres no boot issue whatsoever.Originally Posted by Der_KHAN
so i can say for sure that my old ram died.
the strange thing about it is that the "dead" sticks ran fine in an old kt266A board but refused to work with all 3 DFI NF4 boards that ive tried.
but the dfi boards are fine. they work great with all other mem and, as i said, also my new vx.
I downloaded the 6/23 bios almost as soon as it was available.
Cold boot was gone!
But now it is back! I did go back to the 4v rail (3.3 VDIMM).
Now I am back on the 3.3v Rail Ram using 3.2.
Question to people out there....if you own VX and had this dreaded cold boot, and you have abandoned the DFI, do you guys have any hint of cold boot?
I'm wondering if the board does damage the RAM in some way. The thing is my RAM wasn't even warm to touch like it has been in the past (never really hot though)
I'm getting quite sick of these flaky boards. This is my 2nd attempt at writing this post (BSOD of network-- nVidia GigaLAN whilst using eMule)
DFI This board is an excellent performer but its flakiness is driving myself and others mad!
Desperately waiting for the Sapphire Grouper boards.

Well here's my story:
Last night I decided to remove IHS on my 3000+ Winchester. When I put it back in the DFI NF4 and boot it up.....nothing! Well I was thinking that I damage the CPU but look out the d-led and it was staying on 3 led! ....Ummmm that means that CPU was working...
So it remove 1 stick of my TCCD (OCZ Pc3200 rev2) and then it boot until all leds are "off" and then shut down!
Did a clear CMOS and remove the battery..... and now I'm typing with this computer but at stock setting and with just 1 stick.....
Damn strange! Never had a cold boot issue before....and now what I don't get it it's people with UTT, BH ram that are having cold boot issue...not TCCD like me!
Well will try a new BIOS...
I had constant cold boot issues untill now. Every time i shut down my comp (just shut down,not remove ac plug), it wouldn't boot up without shuffling memories back and forth(have 5 sticks of V-data Utt), resetting cmos and sometimes even that didn't help and only way i got it to boot was putting my worst generic memory in place and that way getting to boot it to bios, save and change memory back to Utt.
I have tried bios versions 3.10, 3.31 1-3, 5.10 1-3, 6.18 1-3, and now 7.02-2, all from http://www.dfi-bios.tk/. After 5.10 i have used yellow slots (although tested oranges too) and before 5.10 i used orange slots.
Finally i have no cold boot problem . Can't recommend 7.02 versions to anyone, since they are Alpha and you might get some entirely new prolems with 'em, but it solved my prob and i even gained 7 Mhz in Fsb speed .

small thread ressurection.
I have these warm boot problems, just like Juggernaut described them.
Unfortunately I haven't got a revision e CPU and can't try this bios.
Was this issue solved in the meantime?
I'm using all these workarounds for a long time now. I would be glad to have a final fix for these issues.
Thanks.
