2 lights usually meen a memory issue i think? You tried the full reset? Taking out battery etc

Irishpimpdude

Yeah try a cmos reset...

masteroftherealm

Did full cmos reset still no boot.

2 leds is gfx i think

3leds = cpu detected
2leds = ram detected
1led = gpu detected

Its stuck on 2leds meaning it has found ram but not GFX

Go with one stick of ram, graphics, cpu and nothing else. Give the ram 2.8v

On DFI-street.com there is a post about the procedure for doing a minimal startup to single out the dud component. try search or post there.

well i never got my expert to work again, i am buying another one this week and see if it was the mobo causing all the problems, if so i will rma the other 1

NO this is a NF3 board theres no diag leds.
And I cant give the ram anything i aint getting anything on the screen!!

Dman_15

sorry, the two leds are on the board. my bad


When i fried my dfi NF4 the same orange leds came on but nothing else.
Probably dud board, possibly PSU. Try another PSU, failing that RMA the board

masteroftherealm

Yeah its either my CPU or my board. Have no way to find out which though!!

Irishpimpdude

Does a mobo not boot without the cpu in???

Dman_15

power supply, not cpu

Could be either of the three
