Just installed this today all new parts new m/board...2 gig elixer ram, Intel E8400 processor,Gigabyte g force 7100 GS
PC seems to boot , fans all come on , m/board L.E.D's light up but no signal to the monitor.
I tried the ram in another PC with Abit Fatality m/board and it was all ok
Any ideas please
BIOS version?
probably needs updated.
It wont post so no idea what version of bios it is , after posting this thread I noticed the other thread dealing with this .
Hello again Mike,
Just so Buff is aware.
Your supplier is couriering a new board to you today and collecting the faulty board, so no need to try and fix the problem board.
regards
Nathan

Please explain that you have an E8400 and a board that has got an outdated BIOS probably.

ive tried most of the advice given on the 49 pages of comment on this board from this forum on the Fatal1ty Fp-in9 in my opinion i bought this board a year and a half or so after release and it has not got the support it has needed through any 1 of the bios updates. Ive tried 1.0 to the latest 1.6 the only bios to work for overclocking my E4500 is 1.3 and this is old and does not give proper temps cpu 1 43c cpu2 79c and thats stock sets but it unlocks the oc ability i had 3.3 on intel cooler. But on bios 1.3 seems to wreck my windows to the point that it keeps hanging and when u try to reinstall xp it hangs again so at the moment i cant install windows and then the pc lights up on the mobo but wont give out a signal ive tried my parts in another pc all ok so must be a problem on board mobo or with bios 1.3 but if i change bios to 1.6 again i cant oc and windows will install ok very strange board with lots of problems this board was sold as oc able but infact its a lottery if u can and thats not good enough to do this to a customer group who have bought this pruduct as a result of statements made by the manafacturers of quality is appauling im seriousley thinking of a refund and diffrent board itsto much hassle with this board

On the other hand the FP-IN9 SLI is not really an overclocker. It comes with the Nvidia 650i chipset and it hasn't got the Guru chip onboard.
You also might to give us some more information. Only "I can't OC" isn't enough for us to help you out.
nope, doesn't work.Quote:

agreed its very hard to read.
I have the FP9-SLI board as one of my spare boards, and the same problems came up with me ,using a wolfdale 8500! A BIOS flash cured the problem, remember to FLASH using MS-DOS this is the SAFEST WAY. Do not flash using the windows abit flash utility. Remember not only a flash would be needed, but somtimes even using different switches will help like /f for instance.
The 650 chipset in particular not just abit but ALL board makes was a poor chipset in my opinion, for overclocking at least.
Please write using paragraphs, as looking at your post gave me a headache, and its really difficult to solve your board problems then:)

Hey, I just purchased thos motherboard and imm having a hell of a problem with it. I am using a navida 8600 gt, will use 2, but 1 to set up first, 2gigs of ddr2 by OCZ and a 580 wat power supply. I start it up, about 25-30 seconds after going on it simply shuts off. Ive tested the mem and psu and they work fine.
I checked all the power connections and whatnot, please help, as imm using my sis's pc and despertly need to get my rig up. I have a brand new WD 500gb HD, and want to put xp pro on it, however cant even get that far, after looking brieflly at the bios set up, it shuts down, please help, thanks.

If you put it in your sig. or "my system" then you only have to do it once.
However, the fact that it shuts down after 25-30 seconds sounds like something (probably CPU) is overheating.
The stock Intel hsf retention system imo is a poor design & it's not uncommon for people to not install it properly.
Hi everyone just to update you on my M/board .
Nathan @ Abit had a new bios chip sent to me and
YIPPEEEEEEEE I,m all sorted
May I say thanks to Abit , Nathan in particuler there , Buff and gilgamesh ...and everyone else for your help and suggestions
Added all specs to profile. Would a cpu overheat within 30 sec? wow... Will check the locking of the fan. Thanks.
Well the fan for the cpu is secure but no difference. I just noticed that the memory is not being recognized. i dont understand because it is dual channel ddr 2 800 hertz like the mobo specs said it supported. Someone please help.
which exact P4?Quote:

Hi guys did not mean to be rude just thought that the system specs i put in were open for all to read
ill start from the beginning.
system spec is Fatal1ty FP-IN9 with a Intel conroe E4500 @2.2 2mb cache /3 x 1 gig corsair xms 800mhz mem / 2 x Fatal1ty 8600gt /160 gb hard drive 580 watt psu
1. Now after a couple of weeks of messing about with this mofo . I have managed an overclock of 3.3 on intel cooler so did not want to push it i managed this with bios 1.3 but after a few hours bios 1.3 kills windows to the point that it crashes when you try to reinstsall xp took 2 days to install xp.
2. So i changed to all the bios versions to find 1 that was stable with the oc abilitys that would let me post and still the only 1 that would was 1.3 even 1.6 would not let the fsb move to increase fsb i tried going over the hole but wont post. So i have had to use bios 1.6 to be able to use my pc for daily use no crashes on windows but it seems to lock the bios functions from clocking so am not sure what to do
3. i did use the qflash to bios do you think i should load 1.3 in dos then that might cure the xp crash thanks guys
hi can you tell me the seting you used to get that oc ?Quote:
