UNOFFICIAL BIOSTAR TPower I45 M/B

[napox9]

i have ver 5.1...

i am almost positive that it is your Sapphire HD4870...have you tried another video card?

EDIT:...do this: increase your NB voltage to about a +0.40 or +0.50 add...and also, your CPU PLL voltage to either 1.6v or 1.7v...those two might help with this save and reboot problem with the no post.

you and shrekogre have the Sapphire HD4870...to me it sounds like that card is causing the problem...interesting that Biostar produced the previous bios to stop the no post problems for the PCIe 2.0 9800 series cards...i am thinking that ATI's new series has a quirk in their bios causing a misfire with Biostar's bios.

I didnt try it with other video card, but the problem isnt at the video card and I'm sure in 100%.
This board was designed to show error message on the diagnostic led (the 2x 7-segments) when a video card isn't connected to the board - 2E, You are welcome to try it.
When I boot the computer without a video card the diagnostic leds don't show anything, I have to turn off/on few times to get the 2E error. After that I reconnect the video card and play with the turning off/on untill it boots.

I talked on other forums with people that use 4870 with this board (even 4870 crossfire), they didnt have problem.

everytime i post without my 9800 in, i get about 4 quick post codes before it stops on 2E...

since you are not getting 2E everytime, i would do what i said in my previous post: clear CMOS overnight with battery & hardware out (except for cpu) and everything unhooked.

if that does not help, then RMA the board.
