ABIT IP43 manual anyone?
I bought a GRADE B motherboard off Overclockers UK to test if my graphics
card was at fault or my motherboard (ASUS SE) and thus it came board only. I built the PC up using some RAM I took out of this PC and an Aquagate cooler I had previously bough for another project. There's a red LED above the switching block lights up when power is connected and another Green LED lights up when the ON button is pressed but that's all I get. No signal to the monitor no matter what card I use even my old trusty X850 PE and no beeps or error warnings. The ABIT site has no manuals for the IP43 board and links to the IP35 boards keep timing out (on an 8MB broadband line????). Does anyone have a link to a copy or even a spare manual in case I am doing something wrong. Please help. Robin ABIT IP43, 2x 1GB CMS2 1024MB PC6400 ddr2, Alphacool 850W PSU with all 24pins connected on the main connector and 8pins connected to the CPU connector and finally any choice of BFG GTX280, FORCE3d 4870 512MB or ATI X850PE. There are no optical or HDDs fitted until I get it to POST. |

Sorry I forgot to mention an Intel E6400 CPU and the fact that the Aquagate
pump spins and the fan on the radiator but nothing else. Thanks Robin |

The motherboard you bought is now less than "Grade B", as it doesn't have a grade at all any more. Yes, there is still a three year warranty, but will their heart be in it (i.e. will someone answer the phone). http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/mainboa...mber_2008.html Looking at their web site, the results are a bit strange looking. For some reason, they didn't bother putting all the documentation for their latest motherboards. What their motivation for doing that would be, is unclear. Most companies put up a complete package, on the day they introduce a new motherboard model. Tigerdirect has an IP35 manual, if you need that one. But no IP43 manual. http://static.tigerdirect.com/html/manualslist.html Paul |

For example, does the hard drive spins up? Can you hear seeks? And then there's the question, is the default setting (factory setting) in the BIOS for errors "Halt on all errors"? I think you are still flailing around. The ONLY way to diagnose a problem by switching out components is to use KNOWN GOOD COMPONENTS. Until you do, if you aren't very experienced, you're just wasting time and money to ending up knowing less than you did before. At this point, you now have still ANOTHER component that you don't know to be good (the new motherboard), so you not only need a manual, but KNOWN GOOD components to test with. Not to mention checking to make sure the motherboard is correctly installed mechanically (this at least can be checked by placing the motherboard on a tabloid and hooking up a KNOWN GOOD power supply and a KNOWN GOOD display adapter (if the motherboard has now built-in display adapter) and NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. This will eliminate the possibility of a short in your original hardware assembly, and definitively show the motherboard to be faulty (even with no memory installed and no display adapter installed there should at least be error code beeps; that is, unless that particular motherboard doesn't have an on board beeper and a system case speaker must be connected - and I haven't seen THAT in years.)
