    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...

    Abit IP35-E Problem, No POST

    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...

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

    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?

    here's something interesting: http://channel.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=15225 Seems Abit's leaving the MB business. I don't know how reliable the source is as they get some things wrong, but this looks like big news if it's true!

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

    I think the motherboard arrived DOA. Upon inspection, one of the pin-type things in the motherboard where the CPU goes was bent the wrong way so I bent it back to the correct position and inserted the CPU, but I had the same symptons as before after connecting everything and turning on the...

    Yeah I know about the warranty but I don't want to pay, may not be worth it... and I sure as heck hope the BFG 650i ultra motherboard works with my 8800GTS without updating the BIOS!

    Yeah I will try all components on the BFG motherboard once it arrives tomorrow. I am sure it will work. After that, this motherboard will be on it's way to Abit RMA hell! lol

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

    I think it's v1.00, and the 8800GTS is a 512 MB g92, but I tried an 8800GT 512 MB g92 as well and neither would work. I highly doubt that both video cards are defective...

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

    It's supposedly a good quality overclocking budget motherboard, and it was near $200.00 retail when it was first released. I will try reseating the CPU and motherboard in about 15 minutes, then I will post here again once I'm done. It may take a slowpoke like me a few hours... By the way...

    by "doubleboot" I meant the standard 3 second boot and reboot that you (letired) described that is a free bonus included with the abit ip35-e and possibly other abit motherboards.

    6800GS AGP announced!

    PC Surgeon, Hardwareschotte.de is incorrect - XFX's own website lists it as 350 mhz! That's what it is, unless they made a mistake which is unlikely. As I've already said: "On XFX's website, their 6800GS AGP is listed at only 350 mhz even though the memory is at 1.1 ghz. This is...

    6800GS AGP announced!

    On XFX's website, their 6800GS AGP is listed at only 350 mhz even though the memory is at 1.1 ghz. This is disappointing, as I had heard before that the XFX brand would be 400 mhz. Considering that their PCI Express "XXX edition" is a full 135 mhz faster at 485 mhz, 350 really sucks...

    Wolfshanze, our systems are nearly identical - and they are NOT by any means "out of date." As for Antec, that's weird because I've only heard good things about Antec power supplies and mine has been totally rock solid for over a year. In fact, for only a 300w power supply it's doing a heck...
