wrong post on wrong thread lol * deleted post*
Hey guys
I'm getting a "CDBoot - Cannot boot from cd: Code 5"
This happens with (3) of my XP disks, but I have one that actually boots and seems to be working until setup says "Setup is now starting Windows" at which I get a "systemroot/system32/ntdll.dll stop error"
What am I doing wrong here?
Can I ask why anyone REALLY needs 4gb of memory. I don't want to start a heated discussion here but in all reality (real world) is it really necessary? :rolleyes:
Probably not.Quote:

I have 4x1G and use vista (not a heavy PS user but do a lot of programming)
I create a ramdisk and put all temp/exchange files there
my mem utilization is usually >80%

personally, a waste of money to go to 4gb's unless you are into heavy photoshop or movie making!
Alright I have the side of the case on now so its all closed up.
PWM is now up to 62c after 35 minutes of Orthos, I don't suspect it will get much higher but it is slowly rising. It only reached 55c with the side off. Seems my temps are a bit closer to the norm now with the system all closed up.
I have pretty good airflow though, lots of warm air blowing out the back. It would probably get higher if the GPU were fired up to increase the inside case temp a bit, although that exhausts out the back.
The reported System Temp is 36c and Core Temp is 58c.
E6550 @ 460x7
1.29v
Thermalright SI-128 w/Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 120mm
All stock volts.
Ace, I'm going to try Vista again to see if I get any luck. I will load the drivers from the floppy as well.
wasn't your problem with XP before?Quote:

there is a diffrence between 2gb and 4gb on x64 vista, you can feel it
Yes my PC is running XP Pro right now. I installed Vista the first time, but I let it load its driver for raid. (the HD Tune graph was a wave LOL) :mad: I then moved to XP without anymore troubleshooting. :shakes:Quote:

I flashed to ID:11, but it shows 10. Is it a bug or did the flash not work? :confused:
Hitting pause during boot does not show me the BIOS version. (maybe I can't see it)
the weird part is orthos is stable for 6 hours.Quote:

Iam gonna try not using the raptor and see if some of those rumours are true
btw iam only running 400x9, memory is 1:1, @800mhz. yes having 4gb and trying to run high FSB can be hard, but it shouldnt be at such low FSB. Even with relaxed timings i get these errors in games, and during installs sometimes.
I put an order in for a new psu aswell, its been acting up a lil. could be the root of the issue
maybe there is a vdroop on the mem LOL :D
Reset to default BIOS and retest. This should eliminated the GPU and video drivers.
I am thinking of picking this board .Whats the max FSB this board can go upto on air cooling and WC ?
no droop on memory, iam not even overclocking my memory. IT does this at stock settings aswell,
I took the quadcore out, xfi sound card. USing realtek. just to leave no stone un turned.
put my E6600 back in, only 2gb this time. fully memtested for 10 hours.. no errors yesterday. memory checks out fine in another system aswell.
still problems show up. Bioshock is a mess, bf2 crashes, stutters..all games behave weird.
VDIMM is 2.1v, uguru shows no droop, besides iam not overclocking memory, and running cpu+mem stock still yields these results
its either my PSU taking a dump on me, or the board is FUBAR. wouldnt surprise me with the run of bad boards ive had the past year.
ive had this setup for 3 months almost, when i got back from my vacation i did the bolt through mod, and added a QUAD. Only thing besides dying psu, or mobo. Would be i may have over torqued the Heatpipes, causes board flex, and in turn jacking up the pcie port
the odd thing again is, i can run prime95 and orthos for hours..no problem. Must be a bad pcie port
anyway gonna RMA.
anyone reading this, dont let it put u off on this great board. sometimes :banana::banana::banana::banana: just happens, its probably my own dumb fault.
80% of people seem to have no issues with ip35pro on the forums
I must say after having my Abit IP35 Pro for a couple of weeks now I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this Motherboard:) Very solid board as far as I can see so far!
One thing I should state for the record though, If you do a clear Cmos with the jumper you MUST also clear via the switch on the back of the Motherboard as well or else the data is saved in UGuru and leads to problems kinda like flashing the D.F.I Bios and using a Old Bios Cmos Reloaded saved setting.
brother is right. flip dip, take batt out, move jumper for 10 mins. make sure cord is out of psu
like any mobo, those where the first things i tried in my trouble shooting
looks like i just have a streak of really bad luck.
74cfm, 2000rpm. I think it gets my northbridge and PWM area a little since it blows downward and at a slight angle to all sides.Quote:
