Motherboard Installation Problem - Intel DP35DP

I just installed the Intel DP35DP with an Intel Core Duo processor, I also added the required DDR2 RAM. I also upgraded the power supply.  When I turn on the computer nothing happens.  The monitor says No Video Detected and the USB ports don't work (i.e., I plug in any USB device like my lighted keyboard and nothing happens).  I also have a new GeForce 7600 PCI-E graphics card.

 

The first time I turned it on after installation the initial Intel screen asking me whether I wanted to use F2 to configure the system. I couldn't do it because my USB keyboard, USB mouse, etc doesn't work. When I powered off and on again I get absolutely nothing but the blank video screen.

    Unfortunately the DP35DP motherboard doesn't have standard keyboard and mouse connectivity. It's USB or nothing, so I had to go out and buy a USB mouse and keyboard.



     



    I'll try clearing the CMOS and see what happens.  I'm also going to install an internal PC speaker to see what kind of audible I get (if anything). I originally bought this computer as a DAW, so it didn't come with an internal speaker (DAW's usually don't so there's no wayward Windows sounds happening while trying to record music).

    Oh, BTW. I am also building a DAW so didn't bother to try to connect a speaker. Turns out there is no such connection except for (apparently) an onboard piezo thingy and the onboard 7.1 audio - that gives me an idea, maybe the post signals are sent out the onboard audio system? Sounds unlikely but I'll try.

    I have the same problem, with same motherboard DP35DP only that I am using a XFX8600GT with 512MB cache. I installed the mother board with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, also the video card and no getting any video signal.
    Need assistance !

    Mother board DP35DP will post and boot but as soon as xp starts up I lose usb?????????????????

  • Mark B Nov 26, 2008

    DP35DP will post then boots to xp and it drops usb seems like a dead end can't load drivers.I checked the date in the bios and the mother board was made this month 11 2008 as long as this mother board has been in production it seem they would have addressed this issue for it is a big issue

    My computer has a DP35DP intel mother board and an Intel duo core CPU. It ran fine for about a year and then developed a really strange problem About every 15 minute, the system would shut down and reboot itself. I found that one of the pegs on the CPU cooling fan had somehow come loose and the heatsink was not contacting the CPU fully. The CPU would overheat after running for a while, shut down, cool off, and reboot. I shut the system (WinXPSP2) down normally, pulled the heatsink off, cleaned the CPU and the heatsink surface, added some silver themal compound, and put the heatsink back on again. When I powered the system back up again - no video. Nothing.

Try checking the connector of your power source to the 2x2 pin connector of the DP35DP MOBO. In my case it was missing and was the reason for the blackouts.

No solution, I'm afraid but I've had what could be a similar problem. Board DOA, apart from the small LED built in, and a flashing power LED (front of case), nothing. No spin ups, no fans (powered from a separate board). Have you yet worked out what caused your problem? I have a new PSU, I've swapped out the video card. My best guess, is something to do with the board arriving in a power-off or standby state that does not recognise my power supply (Tegan 500W).

  • John Zorzi Feb 25, 2009

    Just wanted to update and mention an issue.

    I sent my DP35 back and as there were no more in stock ended up buying an ASUS P5 which has been great.

    The issue I mention is that I think I might have fried the board by plugging the mobo power cable incorrectly. I was using a Tagan PSU and the four pin connector could plug into the mobo in any of the four orientations. Just be careful and I think if you plug in the power with the clip on the same side as the catch then you should be fine with this.

In my case the chasis was flat causing back of the mother board touch the chasis board. It caused the short circuit and i think blowed my motherboard.

Is there any special power requirement for dp35dp. Other configurations are same as first post

Hi, the best solution I see is to log on to the makers website locate the download and support for your board and download the manual [usualy in PDF] and also a copy of your boards drivers.

I had to do exactly this with an Acer board with USB mouse & keboard sockets.

SOURCE: Motherboard DP35DP Installation Problem

Wow ;) LOL

So you wont need USB drivers in dos. Your bios will enable usb support on its own. It is called USB/Legacy support.

As for the system not booting. Your keyboard wont stop it from booting.

So lets start with some basic TS Steps.

First: Remove any extra perfiral devices. (keyboard, mouse, expansion cards, modem, hdd, cd rom. Everything) You want NOTHING connected.
ONLY Connect,
Power Supply
1 Stick of Memory
CPU w/ CPU Fan
Video Card (be sure to plug in the card to the PCI-E power as well)

Still get nothing?

Disconnect the power, remove the CMOS Battery, and wait 5min. Plug it back in and see what you get.

Report back and we will get you going.

SOURCE: Motherboard Installation Problem

How annoying... I guess my last message didn't make it.

So lets start with what you got. Forget the USB problem. Your pc doesn't get to that point.

Here are the things you should do.

First
Remove ALL extra devices connected to the pc including:
Hard drives
Cdroms
Modems
Expansion cards of any kind

The ONLY thing that should be connected is:
Power Supply
CPU
1 Stick of Ram
Video Card

Next
Now REMOVE the Power Cable from the PSU
Remove the BATTERY from the main board.
Let it sit for about 5minutes.

Now
Place the battery back into the board
Plug in the pc
Press the power button

What happens?
Do you get any message on the monitor now?
Sounds ?
Anything?

You should get at minimum another chance to press F2 and reset the bios.

Post your results and we can get you going.

Motherboard DP35DP Installation Problem

You should try a regular ps/2 mouse and keyboard.  You probably don't have the USB drivers installed for the new board.  After you get booted into windows you'll be able to install those.

CONFUSION WITH INTEL CORE DUO AND INTEL PENTIUM DUAL CORE!

You are worrying about nothing.

Intel Pentium Dual Core and Intel Celeron Dual Core are both Intel Core Dual processors.

The performance rate is mesured compared to a single core processor so your 2.2GHz dual core will do the same amount of work as a 4.95GHz single core.

1333 FSB processor ( E6850 ) on a 1066 FSB motherboard, DDR2 667 memory

Hi proenza. you're making good sence! You're D945GCL MB should be able to run 1066 FSB. Not 100% sure you're memory will keep FSB up to 1066.
Here's the trouble though. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 will not run on the Intel D945GCL motherboard because it is not supported. Look here at Intel's web site. Supported CPU's.
http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=d945gcl

Intel E6850 specs sheet. http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Intel-Intel-Core-2-Duo-E6850-Processor-3-0GHz-4MB-Cache-1333MHz-FSB-Conroe-Dual-Core-OEM-Socket-77

Intel E6700 spec sheet. http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Intel-Core-2-Duo-E6700-2-67Ghz

This CPU is supported by the D945GCL MB.
http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=d945gcl

Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 Processor BX80557E4700 - 2.60GHz.
$149.99
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3826343&CatId=2396

In order to get 1066MHz (CPU can run at), you'll also need the memory support at 800MHz. The D945GCL MB can only run DDR2-667MHz.
Many people buy a CPU to run MB's specs (1333MHz) just to find the same MB does not support DDR2-1066MHz or DDR2-800MHz. Motherboard Mfg's are lagging. DDR3-1333MHz is out there now to support the 1333 MHz CPU FSB.
http://www.lagoom.com/KINGSTON_1G_DDR3_1333MHZ_PC3-10667/KVR1333D3N9_1G/partinfo-id-580235.html

I hope this has helped you make a decision proenza.

Good Luck!

Mike

Are they compatible?

Hi, your cpu currently in the machine should be a 754chipset, only way you would be able to put a core duo processor in the machine would be to replace the motherboard, cpu, and probably the memory.. to DDR2

Have a good new year

Still Doesn't Work

You needed to configure bios (F2) when you first installed the processor,

 

now the Bios hangs before anything can happen,  You need to remove the Bios Battery (looks like a coin on the mobo) for about 30 secs (with the power disconnected)  then re-insert the battery and power on.

 

you should get the same power on message as you did the 1st time (maybe with a missings settings error too but this is expected)

 

Enuro12 is right about legacy USB in that your keyboard should work in BIOS (setup)
