abitrulez Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 hi i got lots of problems try to get this to post sometimes i can make it boot to bios but after i save and exit the bios the computer shuts off and then sometimes keeps restarting. everything is new i thought it was the motherboard so i took it back but the new one does the same thing i have changed the memory slots around even just used one stick but it dont matter now i have a hard time thinking the memory is bad not both sticks, now the motherboard uses a 8 pin power connector to power the cpu now the powersupply that im using does not have the 8 pin plug but the manual says you can use the 4 pin plug so what im trying to get at could the powersupply be causeing this? or is it the memory and i also set the dram voltage to 1.9v according to abits site...

abitrulez Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 its a xion 450 watt powersupply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I am not familiar with the specifications on that PSU. However, I do see that it is a common brand included with a case which typically indicates low cost/low quality. A week or inadequate PSU can cause the symptoms you are seeing. If you have the option, test the system with a higher quality PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Using the 4pin power supply from a 400w PSU, running ABIT IP35-E, EN8600GT 512m, E6750. The USBs never fire up so the key board and mouse are all dead, the screen never recieves any signal (so I don't know what the bios is doing). when I power up first time it shuts down after 3 seconds, it then restarts itself and stays on but there is a long intermitent beeping coming from the case speaker. The USBs are still dead and there is no signal to the monitor. I'm using twin2x2048-8500c5d g The board says it will take DDR2 8500, So I think I'm OK. Am I???? I can't change any settings in the bios because I can't see it. This is a new build. Help, help help!!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The manual for the board says that it supports DDR2 800/667. I'm using twin2x2048-8500C5D G, as recommended by Corsair, is this really compatable?? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, I'm using a 400w power PSU. It worked ok in my last setup which had additional sound and TV cards. Albeit a smaller processor and en6600 graphic card. Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The complete specifications on the PSU would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sorry Mike Not sure I'm away from my PC, but I remember checking it last night it said max wattage 400w. It was a cheap one though. I've tried booting with only the MOBOand VGA connected and had the same problem. I can't see that it would require more than 400W.

andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 if it helps the Beep code is 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well, it's not the total wattage that is critical. It is the quality of that wattage and the way it is distributed. So far, the ABIT IP35 series is not tolerant of low quality PSUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think its a Jeantec 400W JNP-400P with dual 80mm fan. Its about 31/2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 If your PSU is that old it is very likely not suitable for a current MOBO. Older MOBOs like that were distributed with more voltage to the 3.3v and 5v rails and less on the 12v rails. Current boards use MUCH more 12v. Post the specs when you can. Unless we find some other gremlin, the PSU is my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewtmilner Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Nice to see Corsair sorting out Abit's problems and so promptly. It should be noted that I have yet to recieve a response from Abit. Well done Corsair!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewtmilner Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ok, bought a new power supply and installed it tonight. No change still gave me the intermitent beep. However I did change one thing I took one of the sticks out and tried to reboot. It worked!! I turned the PC off and switched sticks. Back to the same problem. Does this mean one of the sticks is faulty???? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Does this mean one of the sticks is faulty????Andy I would move to RMA the kit. If you have boot with one of the sticks and no boot with the other (in the same slot) then RMA is the route unless you can return to the retailer. Either way will get you new DRAM.
