"tHatDudeUK" wrote in message ... "Steve" wrote in message ... Where'd you get it, as a matter of interest ? Komplett.co.uk Just read your post in the Abit newsgroup. My experience is different to yours in that the system stayed powered up and made no beeps except for once.... It seems that lots of people are having similar weird problems so I guess that Abit is just V. Unreliable. |

Mines is fine. As for Abit being unreliable, better than bloody asus
anyway, at least Abit don't change the chips on their boards without telling anyone and turning a 333 board effectively into a 266 board......(A7V333R) |

The current problem with the NF7S is the first faulty board I've every had from them -- Steve |

The current problem with the NF7S is the first faulty board I've every had from them I had a hell of a lot of trouble with my Abit KT7A mobo, it would crash all the time & freeze when quitting games. I replaced it with an Asus A7V333 and it's fantastic, reliable as hell. Just hope you got a rev 2 a7v333 as the old ones had the chipsets replaced so you can't put in a 333 chip, not unless you want to blow the cpu and mobo.....Disgusted with asus, bought that board for that specific purpose (before the 333 cpu's came down to sensible prices) and there was no mention in mobo manual, any added sheets, or on the website faq about what they had done. Bought an Abit NF7S now though and all is well |

I have exactly the same problem. Interestingly, I have also the same
RAM (TwinMos DDR PC3200 2x256Mb Dual Channel Kit). I got mine from overclockers about a week ago? Anybody else have this problem? Could it be a bad batch in the uk? dries/ Hi, Just stuck a new system together for my girlfriend and it doesn't work All the system fans spin up including the graphics card's and the hard disk spins up. There is no video output, the optical mouse doesn't light up when plugged in to either the PS2 or USB ports. The keyboard lights flicker when switching on at the PSU but there's no sign of activity when pressing the switch at the front. Once the system speaker beeped at a regular interval on and off. It seemed to be about 2 secs interval between beeps. At all other times the system has not beeped at all and could only be powered off by the PSU switch. I have had the time to test the memory in my machine and it works fine so it can't be that... The fan is spinning on the graphics card so I presume it's working ok and seated ok but will try test it on my machine. Only other possibilities are a duff mainboard or a duff processor. I've tried various combinations of the jumpers and connectors etc and using the clr cmos jumper but no joy. I have also tried using only one DIMM and in various slots etc. I have no fan connected to the chassis fan connector as the case doesn't have one. Would this cause this problem? System spec Abit NF7-S v2.0 Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 pro fireblade E 256mb X 2 Twinmos cl2.5 PC3200 AMD Athlon 2500+ XP Barton Antec 400 watt Psu. Maxtor 120gb 8mb cache IDE. I've just had the same problem, I think there may be a dud batch in the uk. I've spoken to the guys at Abit tech support and apart from a problem with the cpu fan header not reading rpm's properly from some third party fans there no other known issues. Check if there's any power coming from the chassis fan header, mine was total dead. Get it back to your supplier and get a new one, that's what I had to do. Where'd you get it, as a matter of interest ? |

I got mine from overclockers about a week ago? Anybody else have this problem? Could it be a bad batch in the uk? Looks like it... Here's a few forum threads for you to read which I started. http://tinyurl.co.uk/19p1 http://tinyurl.co.uk/e4mk http://forum.abit-usa.com Interesting, lots of people with the same problem, only cure to RMA. But then, if the damn thing absolutely refuse's to post no matter what, what other course is there.... Must post those url to tech support at Aira -- Steve |

It seems that lots of people are having similar weird problems so I guess that Abit is just V. Unreliable. If you're talking about your board not booting up after going into BIOS, I have the same problem here with two ASUS boards (A7N8X Dx v1.04 & v2.00) Seems almost every Nforce2 based boards have the same *feature* |
