Help, unbootable DFI X48/Xeon 3360
 

Hey guys, I need some help with my newly assembled system. The system specs as follows:

Intel Xeon 3360 S775,
DFI Lanparty X48 T2R DDR2,
Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 4GB DHX,
Palit Revolution 700 HD 4870X2,
Antec 1000W Quattro PSU,
Antec 900 Case,

Western Digital 320GB HDD,
Maxtor SATA Diamondmax 9 120GB HDD.

When I started the system, the LED display went through all the codes and it stops at Code 7F. From what I understand, 7F means it's a Bios Checksum error. I tried pressing the EZ Button (both) for 5 seconds to clear the BIOS settings, and still 7F. Pressed F1 and it went to FF, but nothing responding. The card is already seated properly.. or I guess (gonna try in a minute again)

More of the bad news is I'm going to use this rig for tomorrow's Lanparty and if I could solve it tonight then probably I would also have the time to setup (format) the pc!

Help guys!! I'm getting nuts already!

EDIT: Tried the reseating of the card. Still nothing! No nothing at display screen.

RMA it.

My DFI does the same shit, it also gives me the error code 88 most commonly.

Good luck. :)

A new DFI board... needs to be RMA-ed?! Aren't there any solutions?

Okay, now it gets weird. The code stops at "26", then restart itselfs.. then does it again... "7F", Pressed F1 and code becomes "FF".

I tried with my other VGA (6600GT) PCI-E, and does the same thing. I don't think it's really the video..

*is it really the motherboard?* :(

RMA it, mine is new and it does the same bullshit too.

I will be sending mine in to RMA in a few days. :)

I suppose you could try hotflashing, but I would recommend an RMA

I thought of that, but not really sure how to do it. I have a feeling it's only the BIOS needs to be reflashed or updated.

The board is a REV.A1.
