PC will not boot anymore

[Thorsson]

Because the 680i has a number of issues, and Clunk has been on the end of a few of them...

Unless you want SLi go for 965 or 975x.

the Nvidia chipsets for Intel are too immature and have issues.

P5B or Abits QuadGT.
If you want to go 975x I'd heartily recommend the AW9D Max.

Going to be lower cost as well which you can put towards another component.

Which for example ?

I read some reviews about the board, even though it was not the fastest, they all predicted that with the right Bios and everything that the 680i is a really good Chipset.
And not to forget all the little extras this board has.

[SHare]

He's advising there has been issues, a quick google search would throw a few up I'm sure.

Just buy the board, your not taking on board any advise anyway.

Yepp, I just ordered it from Scan.

[Thorsson]

Good luck...

Listen carefully to the startup beeps and lookup the beep code of your BIOS. This might help you to fast locate the problem.

Just to keep you updated,
I had the chance to get a PCI Graphics card.
Was able to get into Bios with it.
Tried again with my PCI-E card, same error.
Checked card with another PC, card is working.
So, the PCI-E Slot or the whole PCI-E bus is borked.

Anyway, I will get my new board on tuesday

[derchris]

So, I just finished installing the new board.
Works great.
At the moment it runs a P-D 830, 4x 512 MB Corsair XMS2, a GF 7300 GT, 2x IDE HDDs (SATA Adapter) and a Lite-On DVDRW.

Now I have a base for upgrading.

CPU, Graphics card, PSU, Cooling

But at least my System is working again
