BUMP!

HELP!

Also, when I plug anything into the PCI slots the Abit POST LED just goes blank....

Hey, My friend just purchased a new mother board and cpu. When putting comething in the PCI slot then computer just won't turn on at all. I flashed the BIOS to the latest, 24 by floppy. I also tried reinstalling Windows. I tried everything! I only have 1 stick of RAM in Dimm 1, and this...

?

bump?

Does a CD ROM Drive originally have 2048kb of cache? I used DVD Info to check out my CD RW drive info, and instead of 2000kb it has 2048kb, I understand that is how the bits and bytes work, but....was just wondering... How does a CD RW Drives Cache work? Is it like CPU cache? Does it store...

I have reformatted twice...no luck...

lol. I think I just have bad luck :/ I keep my room a good temperature, I handle the parts with obsessive care, I keep my air clean from dust, hair, etc, and I don't OC..... idk....I am in the process of sending my motherboard back to Monarch, we will see what they have to say *sigh*

It very well could be the processor, but the funny thing is, I can run Counter-Strike Source forever without my computer freezing up. If I am out of that game my computer freezes randomly. I checked the PSU rails, ran the memtest, ran Western Digital Lifeguard (0 bad sectors), reflashed BIOS...

I ran both Memtest 86+ and Prime95. Both had 0 errors. Memtest was 42 passes/0 errors. I have also been experiencing some slight freeze ups during POST, so I am pretty sure it is my motherboard.

Could you give me any links to either one of those please? Thanx.

1013 is the latest BIOS, yes. I have everything at stock speeds as well. And I don't believe downgrading would do anything because I had 1013 for about 2 weeks and my PC was running fine. I will try the memtest thing once I find a floppy though.

PLEASE!

Could anyone else please help me out here? I am getting VERY frustrated with this piece of crap computer. I have had nothing but trouble with my past two computers and am about ready to just give up the hobby all together. The only thing I can think of that would make the computer freeze...
