Heres what you need to try.

Disconnect everything HDD, optical drives, Memory, graphics cards.
- Just leave the CPU and PSU plugged in.
- If possible remove motherboard from the case
- Clear the cmos
- Power on the motherboard
- If it shows code C1 then switch off and plug in the memory, graphics and the board should post OK.
- If it still shows code 90 then have the CPU tested. If the CPU is ok then the motherboard is faulty and its time to RMA.

it could also be power related - we've been seeing a lot of dead/dying Antecs recently.

Faulty power supplies shouldn't cause a code 90 error.

definitely seen 9.0. on uGuru boards with faulty power supplies, same as if the board were shorting out you can get 9.0 shown.

Neah. No chance with the supply .. i just use that on my second pc and WORRKS great so ... tomorow i`ll go to a service to see what`s the problem with CPU and MBA.

[ABIT Sean]

Its always a possibility that the PSU is faulty. When fault finding you must check every single component. But IMO it more than likely to be a faulty motherboard.

Thanks for helping me Sean. Hope MBA ... will soon back on my pc.

Mdea... looks like is the power after i was 3 time on service with that MBA tomorow i`ll go with that supply will see what happend.
