hehe.hullo folks. i've surfed around a bit here on hexus before, but never really gotten into the forums much. i own this board too... well more like i owned this board. i bought it from frys and will be returning it today or tomorrow. i have a different issue. this is my third abit f-i90hd. it worked fine until yesterday. it's slow to boot up, and then right after windows loading screen finishes, it shuts down the computer. does the same thing in safe mode. when i try to re-install windows, it shuts down after windows loading screen. i've tried with 2 psu's, 3 processors, 2 sets of ram, with and without sound/video card, and 2 different hard drives. The same thing happened to my first board, but that one actually ended up not even turning on anymore. the second board had issues with onboard video (looks like no signal then it'd flash on then go off again). This third board ran fine for about a week. i overclocked it once to 300fsb then backed off to default as i didnt want to screw it up. well it just so happens it did anyhow. here are my specs.
cpu: e4300, e6300, celeron d 356
ram: 2gb ddr2 667 team group xtreem d9gmh 3-4-4-8, 2gb ddr2 STT S-rigid
video: evga 7900gt ko
cooling: stock, noctua nh-u9
hdd: seagate 250gb 16mb 7200.10 sata, western digital 80gb 8mb special pata

sidenote: i kind of gave up on abit support, as they never replied to my questions when i last contacted them about my second board.
