    HELP!!! Computer not booting. No video. Tried everything. Video card fan spinning on highest speed non-stop!

    Abit was very good about the return process and they sent me a new motherboard promptly. As soon as I have a chance to test it I will post the results here... Rifleman, what did you end up doing? Anyone else having trouble with their Abit IP35-E?

    Abit IP35-E Problem, No POST

    Abit did a wonderful job sending me a replacement quickly... I have not tested it yet but I hope it will work! Will post again once I test it. Of course, I included my standard threatening letter with the RMA return. (if no replacement received quickly, will report to BBB, Dept of...

    Abit IP35-E Problem, No POST

    Maybe "lots" was the wrong word, but I do seem to be hearing about it more and more lately. It's great that Saint Michael got his motherboard working though... Nerp, I hope you never have a problem with it! :) How long have you had the motherboard? Also, what are you doing with all of...

    Glad that worked for you... too bad it didn't work for me but I'm just happy that I got my system up and running again and hopefully Abit will honor their RMA and send me a working motherboard.

    Understood, good luck but again I had exactly the same problem as you. No matter what I did the exact same thing kept happenning - nothing on screen and no beeps. Finally I tried another motherboard and everything worked perfectly. Lots of people are experiencing problems with their...

    HELP!!! Computer not booting. No video. Tried everything. Video card fan spinning on highest speed non-stop!

    Just overclocked the e6600 to 3 ghz using SOFTWARE! Since the Intel DG33TL does not allow any type of overclocking at all, I used SetFSB after lowering my RAM speed from 800 to 667 mhz in the BIOS. To my surprise, the overclock was STABLE and worked just fine throughout a long game of...

    HELP!!! Computer not booting. No video. Tried everything. Video card fan spinning on highest speed non-stop!

    The Abit board died and I am sending it in for RMA service. If you have an Abit motherboard and it has been a week or so less than one year since you bought it, submit an RMA request now (even if the board is working properly) and you will have a 90 day extention on the warranty...

    HELP!!! Computer not booting. No video. Tried everything. Video card fan spinning on highest speed non-stop!

    Well the CPU is definately fine, as I have always suspected... just tried it on the free Intel DG33TL motherboard and it worked fine along with that G.skill RAM I bought from newegg. I am surprised that the motherboard only got an average of 3/5 rating on Newegg - it works perfectly for what it...

    As for the BFG 650i: They are sending me another motherboard and said I can throw the first one in the garbage. This seems good, but I am wondering if their motherboards are junk and that is why they don't mind sending another one without getting this one back?
