Abit NF7-S #/&"%/$//"$%
I recieved the mobo before 7 hours and emediatly started to connect it. I was slow and carefull and I took everything out form the comp and firstly installed the screws onto it for my Alpha (sign). Then I took everything back into the place.
I turned the comp on and it booted very fast (good i thought
There was an error message something like CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded (don't know exactly). There were two choices F1 to continue and Del for the BIOS. I went into the BIOS and looked at the new Soft Menu and everything. Then I saved things and restarted. IT WOULDN'T BOOT!!!! WTF?! I turned it down and cleared the CMOS. I turned it on againand there was again that CMOS checksum error message. I pressed F1 to continue. After few second it rebooted. It booted and there was a new error message, something like Your CPU is not working or you changed the CPU. I went againg into BIOs, set the things and rebooted but again it wouldn't boot. I unpluged it and cleared the CMOS. Then I started all over again till that second message.
Then I changed the XPU and putted my old TB 1.33Ghz. SAME THING. I don't know what's with this MOBO!
Is it dead, damged and HOW TO FIX THIS!?!?!?!
Please help, I'm back on my old KR7A...
I waisted 7 FREAKING HOURS on this mobo and I'm MAAAAAAAAAAAD.... Please help, what the peeeeep to do?!?!?!

Good luck with the replacement.

and manually make the settings using your motherboard owners
manual as a guide. The number one thing to check is your CPU
or processor speed. good luck
2) Try one stick of memory or try a different stick of memory
3) try a new(er) PSU - I recommend a 500w or better
Don't be alarm if you see a big red message while a second reboot occurs, that's normal.
Good luck!
But I've read in the manula that if I don't have a cable to put in there then I don't have to because the mobo will still work.
I don't know. I can only try and flash the BIOS and see what will happen.
Stay tuned!!!
Did you take it out of the case as Omega suggested?? You would not be the first with a short in the box.
Subject to discussion. The CTRL+HOME option may work if it is still implemented in BIOS'
NS
Hope it helps
You don't need that extra 12v connector. If your psu has it then you can use it, but it's not necessary or anything.
I'm 95% sure that the mobo is dead ;( and i've contacted the dealer but I'm gonna try one more time to be sure.
I'll tell the info tommorow.
Bye
Anyway, tommorow I'll recieve my replacement, Zalman ZM80A-Hp and a new DVD drive. It's gonna overclocky
I'm just praying that he will send me a good mobo without any failures.
The next thing that I'm scared of is putting my Alpha heatsink onto it. My friend also bouth a new mobo (Asus A7n8x) and he screwed up his by putting his Alpha. The thing is that when you're putting those screwes onto the mobo the plastic ones that are down below can damadge your mobo. Thta's the thing that I'm afraid of happening to me.
Any ideas how to do it safely. The last time that I have put those screws corectly was a year and a half ago when I bought my KR7A.
No, he's referring to the mounting studs for the H/S. It uses the same type mounting studs as a water block.

Just make sure you use the correct size washers and be careful not to your tools to the mobo. I got tired of having to remove my mobo from the case each time I wanted to remove the H/S and replaced my Alpha with a SLK-800. Just remember that if you were able to install it the first time when you originally got it, you will no doubt be able to do it again.;)
Cheers!
I forgot to tell you the last time that I sended the mobo to the dealer for him to check it out on his own parts. I was 100% sure that he will also find out that the mobo is dead.
but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! He contacted me by e-mail today and sayd that the mobo is doing fine and that he has run 3d mark and sanda on it with no problems.
WTF!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
If you remember I changed every component for the CPU to memory and CD drive and it wasn't working.
How the %/#(!/# did it suddenly started to work at him, I don't know. A repled to him to send me the list of components that he used to test the mobo.
I mean, how is this possible? Maybe it's not dead. Maybe......... I don't know...... What the hell I'm supposed to do now?!?!?!
I tried that when I had it last time and it even wouldn't boot when it was out of the case. I cleared the CMOS for abut 50 times....
Once cleared, please boot once and on that boot load default settings in Setup routine for mobo and do not load turbo settings if it posts. Oh, and if you test out of case you need to have on the pink or gray foam that should have come with it, or on the anti-static bag it came with and power plugged into it-- laying right on metal will nicely drain CMOS cell when you plug in PSU (battery will be grounded and drain through PSU bond or CMOS will get scrambled as many little contact nubbins touch metal all at once and mobo goes NUTS-- only certain places on mobo are supposed to be grounded, the screw holes with silvers soldered places around them).
Hope that helps some.

Running with mobo on top of anti-stat bag for a short time is fine if fans for CPU and video card run.
if you're using bios 16 you have to put your rams in slot 2 + 3 for dual channel action.
by the way : what rams you're using ?
there seems to be a problems with the new winbond ch-5 modules, which are on the new corsair twinxx modules as well as on the twinmos

But drugs are good for pain as long as you know you limit...I mean doasage. And guns should most definitely be thought of as a last resort (Just make sure you keep them pointed in a safe direction).
