I built a box with Abit IP35-E m/b with a E6750. Threw in (4) 1GB Patriot 4-4-4-12. But I didn't try to overclock this box. Though I went with the default BIOS settings. Also have a 8600GT video card in there.

Originally, the computer boots and is on for 3 seconds, power shuts down for 3 seconds and then turns on. I was able to install Vista 64bit. Then installed all my software. That was with a single monitor setup. But after I switched to dual monitors, I getting blue screens.

That was a disaster.

Formatted the drive, and installed Vista 32bit.

But now, the machine would turn on for 3 seconds, then turn off for 3 seconds, and then turn on for 3 seconds. Then finally shut off.

Anybody ever seen anything like this?

At one point, the computer would fire alarm and shut down, but that was because the CPU fan was fully seated. But that's ok now.

I'd appreciate any ideas anybody would have.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. We have a big thread going on with your board and you may get better responses from there. I don't mean to discourage you from posting, but we have already a lot of IP35-E threads, so I would like to encourage you to post in the thread so the motherboard forum isn't filled with too many similar threads regarding IP35-E. Again, I'd welcome you to the forum and hope you resolve the issue quickly.
