    Abit IP-35 + No POST + Siren = no go

    ...and makes my mate a sad boy. I also posted in the general hardware forum as I don't know whether this is an Abit problem or not.

    Anyway, Hi and here's the skinny...

    Akasa Zen
    Seasonic S12 11 430w
    Abit IP-35 "Dark Raider"
    Intel C2D 4400
    Scythe Mine (says he'll be upgrading in the future)
    OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1024) Platinum Series DDR2 PC6400 800MHz Rev. 2
    256MB Gigabyte 8600GT Silent Pipe II
    Samsung DVD-RW
    Old SATA HDD

    Abit beep codes: http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=98625

    Boot >> PSU and fans are firing up and the Abit boards power on "stutter" is there.

    Abit Flash screen appears, Award BIOS screen appears >> Main Processor is there, Mem Test is ok, CPU brand name is there, CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded.

    Press F1 to continue, Del to enter setup >> No further after pressing key.

    Can't POST and can't get into BIOS, complete with 2 tone siren blaring out. ....which according to the Abit beep code above is caused by overheating or out of specification voltages.

    I believe the default voltage for memory on the Abit board is 1.8, his OCZ likes 1.9 - 2.1, but can't change it yet, don't think that's the issue anyway.

    He says he has everything down to a minimum, 1 stick of memory, 1 HDD etc
    24 pin to ATX pwr1
    EPS12v(8P) to ATX 12v1
    4pin to ATX 4p1

    He did say he managed to get the Scythe Mine the wrong way round, with the fan facing toward the power supply and is in the process of swapping it back and trying it the right way. I've not had chance to go round and check stuff, but looking at the mobo schematic he scanned and sent, there doesn't appear to be a lot that can go wrong for him.

    Could it be BIOS beep code 1) No beep at all - this means your motherboard is dead, either due to a defective or underpowered power supply, poorly seated CPU or RAM, or a dead-on-arrival board.

    PSU seems fine and not under powered and he says he has used a neighbours spare and the same thing happened, RAM and CPU are detected and seated correctly, albeit the RAM voltage isn't right. So that leaves a dead board?

    I'm probably over looking the obvious, any ideas gratefully recieved. Thanks.

    For future reference it looks like it's the Scythe Mine and the Scythe's fan in particular that was causing the problem. Replaced with the Intel stock cooler and fan I was able to POST normally, change the memory voltage to 1.9 and remain in the BIOS, and remain stable.
