    Question Help with my Abit AV8 !!!

    Hello All,

    I have a major problem. A couple of days ago i upgraded my graphic card (Sapphire 3850 AGP). Everything seem to go OK until I touched the metal door on my Thermaltake tower. I univertantly killed my rig with a static discharge. I was able to get the system back up by it would beep at me every few seconds. I assumed it was a bad PS, so I went out and picted up a new one (Rockfish 700w). After installing it and double checking all the connections, I pushed the start buttom. The system started up for about a second then whent dead. The LED readout on the MB read (in order) 8.3. - 9.C. - 9.3. - 9.F. I've tried everything I know. the error code definition don't tell me much. Any suggestions would be a great help.

    9.F. µGuru force shutdown 1. Power on -> Stop at 9.F.2. 0.0.->8.3.->9.F. repeat
    1. OC too high 2. Power supply compatibility
    action: 1.Restore default setting for BIOS2. Replace with other power supply

    Hi Jay,

    Yeah, the whole case is aluminum and I have carpet in my office. Not a good combo. Major EST issues, I live in eastern Washington, dry with no humitity. Just ripe for EST. i'm going to give DratUK suggestion a try.
