i am going to give 17.b02 beta a try to see if that has corrected the problem.Quote:

DOUBLE EDIT:...NOPE!...same old thing with my 9650 and 17.B02 beta bios...multi is locked out above 9X
If you're refering to my processor sitting at 75, its because the bios i am using reports high temps. Its about 25 degrees over what it should be. Also, those temps are just after the wprime run finished, so i still have a good 10 degrees or so to play with (I go by temps on the cores as opposed to the processor temp which is lower than the core temps with 16.03 bios)Quote:

that is what i remember reading...they are slow....i think like 3 weeks turn-around time.
I do advanced-exchange almost everytime I have a component go bad; it's never worth waiting upwards of 3 weeks to get your board back if that's your main PC. :(
Im using an athlon xp shuttle that I am getting pissed at already.Quote:

I can't speak for Abit, but I did this with Asus once, but I used a Visa. The charge occurred the same day I filed the RMA and the refund occurred a couple of weeks later; presumably after they received my defective board.Quote:

No doubt. but before I send it out, This is a video. Dead, yes? Even with nothing attached, it still just does code 8.2Quote:

Haven't read through previous posts but stating the obvious I guess, can you borrow another PSU? just to see if you get the same code, it could well be the PSU.Quote:

what's the word on the IP45 Pro or X48 release time?..june or later?
Nelly probably knows better than I, but a couple people (not necessarily with inside knowledge) guess June. The IP45 Pro is being displayed at Computex 2008, so that's encouraging. Of course, it was displayed at CeBit too and still remains unreleased. You are definitely not the only one waiting for them. :)
Have a problem and I wanted to pick your brains a bit.
My entire system shuts off (even the cute blue LEDs in my Antec case) and then comes right back without reboot to the same web page or program that was up????
I seems to happen primarily to my wife logged on in her settings of Windows (XP 32).
RAM, PSU, or does she just have bad computer Karma?
?!? Let me make sure I'm reading this right...it actually loses power for long enough that the LEDs go dark and then turns back on, right where it was in Windows?Quote:

- My first thought would be the PSU of course.
- Try moving the power cable around and see if that reproduces the outage...could be a bum wire.
- Remove all but one stick of RAM for a while, see if it happens again. If so, try the other one. Then try a different DIMM and so on and so forth.
- Remove any overclock you may have.
Extremely curious. :shrug:
Hi Guys haven't lurked here in a while! Been too busy to mess around with my IP35-Pro.
I was wondering does anyone know of anyone who has watercooled the whole thing? i.e. mosfets and NB & SB? I was thinking of putting mosfet coolers from Enzo on the mosfets and MCW30s on the NB & SB but havent seen it done yet.
Cheers,
emu
per chance you have the machine setup for hybernation or suspend mode?...if not, then the only other thing is a problem with the PSU, power cord or surge protectorQuote:

could be a bad install...but...try turning hybernation and suspend mode off first like you said before running a repair.Quote:

The Abit P45 chipset boards should be in June, I really want the Abit IP45 GT3 if it's not in stock by July 1st, I will buy an alternative P45 motherboard from another manufacturer - end of story.
I can't stand Asus due to pathetic RMA service, but I might risk it & go for the Asus P5Q3 Deluxe.
:D....i did not see your answer when i posted my additional reply.Quote:
