Is there a special trick to get the ONDA B250 BTC-D8P MoBo Ver.1 to work?

( Note: I'm getting the same symptoms Storx described on the 6 slot ONDA. I tried clicking the the button he used to resolve the issue. No luck)

Do I need to install a VGA driver or something else?

Is there an online manual ?( I couldn't find one of the ONDA website.)

Been struggling for 2 days with the ONDA B250 BTC-D8P MoBo Ver.1 MoBo. Ran all over Toronto to replace RAM and CPU. Sill not working.
Here's my set up:

MOBO : see above
PSU: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i 1200W 80 PLUS PLATINUM
CPU: Intel Core I3-7100 Kaby Lake Dual-Core Processor Socket LGA 1151, 3.9GHz
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Laptop Memory Model F4-2133C15S-4GRS
GPU's 1 x EVGA 1060 SC, and 7 x EVGA 1060 SCC

I plugged it in the way Phil mentioned so that i didn't short it. I even tried what worked for Storx ( pushing the CMOS button) when he had trouble getting his D1800 to post.

not sure if this will help.. have the onda B250 D8P ver 1. G4400, 8 gig ddr4 sodimm (g.skill ripjaw ddr4 2400), 128 gig msata. dual psus, mixed amd and nvidia, 6 cards total.

for initail setup: i booted with a single rx460 and got into the bios. in there i set the iGPU (to use the G4400 Pentium) as the primary video to use the hdmi port, then disconnected the 460 video (left the card in though) and rebooted. from there i installed win10. the iGPU came up as "microsoft basic vga" or something to that effect in device manager. then i let it search for drivers and it grabbed the intel driver from ms. from there is was a cakewalk, more or less.

the board does some sort of self discovery mode on initial boot and any boot after a cmos reset. in a bios reset i think it expects a card in the 1st slot (closest to cpu) and doesnt use teh iGPU (if any), its kinda of a weird board until you get it setup, then its fine. its actually rock solid for me. i like it, cards have good spacing and cooling is good with 3 noctua 140s each pushing 133 cfm at them.

EDIT: i have looked for documentation; cant find any Sad

Thx.

I have a couple G4400 CPUs on other MoBos. I'll move one to the ONDA and start over.
Fingers crossed.

Well changing to the G4400 didn't make a difference. Just like before, The fans on the GPUs and the CPU start spinning and nothing else happens. Not even a light on the Ethernet port.

So, I'm giving up and sending it back. Am looking at alternative boards ...but likely have to go with risers.

Hey buddy, check your memory, these onda motherboards are very specific on memory requirements.. is your memory 1.35V? When i first got my D1800 BTC board i bought DDR3 memory listed under 1.35 search, but when i double checked the memory itself it had printing of 1.5v listed on the product, so i had to ship it back and order new memory. Also i found that the memory was very tricky on getting the proper angle to get it to fully seat for me. I think the clear bios worked for me because i was trying to boot it on 1.5V memory and it was unhappy with it throwing errors, then when i placed the correct memory in the computer it wouldnt boot tell i cleared the errors from the 1.5v memory.

I used those ripjaw ddr 4 rams thos worked for me

Thx Marvel. Gonna try this one: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16 1.2V SODIMMs (F4-2400C16S-8GRS). A store nearby has it in stock.
I really find it weird how poorly the RAM fits into the slot.

well ddr3 and ddr4 have different pin setup.

one of them does not work.

it simply fits wrong. and if you forced the wrong one you broke the mobo..

from wiki

201 to 300 pins

204-pin SO-DIMM, used for DDR3 SDRAM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> if you hold this against the 260 the slot does not match

214-pin MicroDIMM, used for DDR2 SDRAM
240-pin DIMM, used for DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM and FB-DIMM DRAM
244-pin MiniDIMM, used for DDR2 SDRAM

260-pin SO-DIMM, used for DDR4 SDRAM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am not sure which one of these you need but sounds like you messed up by forcing of of these two sticks in the slot

260-pin SO-DIMM, with different notch position than on DDR4 SO-DIMMs, used for UniDIMMs that can carry either DDR3 or DDR4 SDRAM >>>> never saw this one adds to confusion

278-pin DIMM, used for HP high density SDRAM.
288-pin DIMM, used for DDR4 SDRAM
