BBloke Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Well I updated the bios on my DFI Infinity board this morning and promptly filled my breeches!! LOL BIOS updated fine but upon reboot nothing!!! Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 8, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 8, 2007 Hmmm. Wonder if that is the same issue I have with my DFI board. If I power off it can take 30 mins or more to get it to fire up again, lights flash but no-one at home...really scary...dare I try it...it's running Ok but if I turn it off... Quote
BBloke Posted May 8, 2007 Author Posted May 8, 2007 Oh hell.. that doesnt sound nice at all.. I'd freak! Well the lights were on then they went off. Quote
BadAim Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 I know you guy's are the experts Rog but I would like to suggest that your problem might be the power supply, I had trouble with mine like that for quite awhile: when I re-booted it would be fine but if I shut - down for the night it would take forever to start up- even though the power light on the mother board was on. what I realized was that if I didn't shut off the power strip, or phisically switch off the power supply it would fire up right away. I tested the power supply (with a light strip type tester) and it tested fine.....but it wasn't, when I finally replaced the power supply my problem went away. Quote
BBloke Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks BadAim, All is well and I read that they do prefer a CMOS clear after update. Quote

I think you are right Chet, even though the power supply is relatively new. Bloody hassle though to get it swapped out under warranty. I'll have to 'borrow' one from one of the other systems in the house to test the theory, there is a small chance it's the mobo but fingers crossed - PSU swap would mean an upgrade if I play it right Quote
BBloke Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 LOL.. Go for it.. I'll hide this post for you if you want Quote
