Abit ix38 QuadGt system fail-safe
I have buy a new CPU E8400 core2duo and i install bios version 16. The temperature is correct but when i shut down the pc or i do a restart says at startup " System is runninig at fail-safe state" press F1 to continue or dell to bios
And if i press F1 the pc start normally without problem but why i see that???
What i can to do it to fix the problem??

no i am sure that is not a memory because before 1 week i returned at the store that i buy it and says that is ok.....
i think is something with my bios...i change battery.i change psu and now i have 600watts...
until now sometimes post code 9.0 sometimes starts normally.....i dont know what happen it!!!
Re: Abit ix38 QuadGt system fail-safe
"i have 2GB Ram and 4 DIMMs"
is that 4 DIMMs of 2GB each or 4x 512Mb=2Gb or what?
have you increased mch voltage at all?
Re: Abit ix38 QuadGt system fail-safe
it is 2 DIMMs each 2x1024Mb....
from bios i increase from the value 1.85 to 2.1v...this write on ram...
