Listen up KD7 owners

Unplug the machine and reset the cmos jumper. If it comes back up hit delete to enter the bios, but tell it to exit without saving the changes andreboot. If it reboots fine go back in and immediately hit F10 to save changes and exit without actually changing anything and lemme know if it hangs then. It you CANNOT get it to boot at all after resetting it try unplugging the power cord long enough to let the light go off on the motherboard, plug it in and try again. If that doesn't work unplug the cord and the atx connector from the board for about five minutes and then try it again. If none of this works he MAY have damaged the core.

I know this all sounds wierd, but everything i've said here has fixed the famous Abit warm boot issue for me and people I've suggested to at one time or another.
Tiribulus

we will try it :)

OK, we tried what u said (unplug,reset jump,reboot(it black screened) unpluged for about 2 mins, boots up(still detected as a 1500+XP GR!

We are kind of thinking he skroched his vcore(we saw burn marks on the heat sink when we took it off!)

It does boot, but at 1500+ only? I don't think it's wrecked if it will boot at all, but someone else reading this may have a different experience. I've only seen them work or not. Meaning they'll run like they should or not at all. Try going in and manually setting it to 13x133. Also what kind of memory?
Tiribulus:D

Hmm here is a weird thing, Ok I did this (shut off comp) booted back up hit load fail safe defaults, reboot (boots up at 1500+XP) shut down restart then it still says Main processor: 1500+ XP BUT! when i go into bios and go under SoftMenu III Setup it shows 2100+ XP! but, like..its not saved to Cmos or something...

Its DDR 333(when i first set defaults it sets it at DDR 200) Untill i reboot again then it detects it as DDR 333 PC2700

KD7?

YEP Abit KD7

What is the brand of the memory? and that's a KD7?

Have you updated to the B8 bios?

RAMOL it says on the DDR Mem Chips..(Ya the brand)

What is? The brand? and what about the bios?
Tiribulus

Yep, the one dated 9/9/2002 i belive

Hang on

OH NM its generic he said

Ok so much for that. Is cpu command decode set to normal, that's a big one

Yep it is..

Generic memory is generally a no no on Abit performance boards though some guys get lucky. You would really hope it'll run at defaults though. Manually set the fsb and mem timing to 133 and the multiplier to 13. iknow it's pc 2700, one step at a time. If it powers up, but nothing, but fans, shut it off and unplug the cord until the light goes off again. Post back if that works
Tiribulus

Nope, Nothing!! ..blah

What does it do, fans and nothin else?

Yep Fans, but black screen!

Even if you turn it all the way off, unplug it until the light goes off and then try it?

Yep... It doesnt matter what i change in bios(like i tried to change from it to boot up from cdrom first before fdd and it black screened on me had to reset jumper !!
