Abit IP35 Pro stuck on 90 post code...

[entombed]

The weird thing is I can remove the CMOS battery for 5 minutes, put it back in and it will boot. I can get into windows and run prime95 for hours stable etc no problem. The weird thing is if I go into the BIOS and change ANYTHING it gets stuck on the 90 post code. The only thing that fixes this is taking the battery out. It has been working fine with the hardware I have for months no problem. I have used flashmenu to try flashing the BIOS and I still get the same problem. Any ideas?

have you tried jumper bios reset

I've been having the same problem, so far I've worked out if I cycle the power a few times I can eventually get it to boot. Generally sticks on either 90, or I get a few beeps at stage 26 of the boot cycle.

Both of which point to a failure of the Graphics card, either the PCIe slot or the card itself.

Something is up with either the PCI-e slot or the card. I reseated the card and it seemed to boot fine. Now its not booting. This is frustrating.

Just an update for you, I replaced the graphics card on Friday, and the system *touch wood* has been stable since. I've even been able to turn my modest overclock back on (2.7Ghz)
