I tried my 8500 E0 with that new beta bios from abit.eu and it doesnt work.
It may only work with 8400 and havent gotten to 8500/8600.
I am tired of this. Gonna get a new MB. I thought I was buying quality when I bought the ip35. Bah, hate buying old technology.
So all the questions are answered.
My 8500 wasnt working because it is E0 and the listing i linked to said it might not :/ I am just too blind(or stupid) to read the sheet correctly.
I just called into Intel support to get a RMA because I was convinced it was DOA and proudly claimed that...
I updated to the version 18 bios and it still doesnt post.
My 260's fan actually doesnt spin and it looks like everything else is running on half power. I am pretty sure my PS is powerful enough to run this.
I dont know, I think my MB is having trouble with 45nm cpus even though bios 15 should...
Yeah I have been try to figure out how to boot from a cd and do the update. Problem is that I have a SATA hd and cdrom. It looks for a ide drive and I dont have SATA drivers on the cd. Even if I did I read it will not work. Catch 22.
Anyone know a solution please dont be shy.
Also I am going...
Quick update:
Looks like you guys were both right.
Put in a stick of corsair ram with the 2160 and got POST. There is something wrong with the crucial ram. It would not fail memtest; I think it has something to do with the voltage. Even though I cleared CMOS and it defaulted to 1.8v the...
Thanks for the reply nyker.
The problem is I get no video, no post. I dont even have a working floppy drive. This means no bios update. I updated to the lastest bios using the windows utility months ago also.
Resetting the CMOS would not downgrade my bios version.
About the ram, I am...
Thanks for you reply Zap.
What i really want to know is why everything will not work with my old config. Did something break when i put in my new components? I dont think so, i was careful.
Only thing could be if I bent some pins on the MB.
Wierd thing is, when i put in my 8500 and RAM I...
First of all I really appreciate your reply heid.
Second:

I have the E0 and the board came with the 15 revision bios.
Looks like it is compatible out of the box.
Also it doesnt answer why my 2160 and 1900xt stopped working.
Also...
My computer has been running smoothly for a while now but I decided to upgrade some components.
I just bought a E8500 to replace my 2160. At the same time I bought a gtx260 to replace my 1900xt.
So my specs are this:
MB - IP35-E
Power - Corsair VX550W
CPU - E2160 -> E8500
Video - 1900xt...
