Dear abit users,

For a while now i'm experiencing a boot delay when powering on my AB9 board. I'm not able to power on the system unless i wait for a few minutes with pressing the power-on button.

Watching the POST codes it posts an F. after the first .2 and it will last a couple of seconds(variable), post .2 again and then goes to 0.0 code. When i hit the button it will go back to F. unless i wait a couple of more minutes before it goes to normal boot mode.

I tested the mobo on a friend's powersupply and it booted just fine, same goes for my own psu (Antec TP-II 430), which shows normal voltage numbers when measured. Apart from this annoying power-on issue i have no issues at all and it has been a part of my system for almost 2 years now.

I'm really puzzled, what's going on here? Anyone who is familiar with this issue or can give me directions how to deal with this? Thanks.
