I've built my own computers since the BH6 celeron 300@450 days. Just got a new AI7 with a P4c @2.8, 2 sticks of Musklin PC3500 level II and a Radeon 9600XT. Get a repeating long beep, no video and the code 'AF' with both the green and red lights on. Have double checked ram, video card and cpu. Minimum config. ram,cpu,video and hard drive, no help from manual. TIA >> Stay informed about: Abit AI7 no boot

Further checking reveals that I can get past the 'AF' code and no
beeps with only one stick of ram, but it now hangs at 05, which is
the blank out screen and clear cmos error flag according to the
manual. Have cleared cmos repeatedly but still no video output.
help....

another system with a code that isn't in the manual. those doggone readouts are next to worthless if all the codes aren't published. did you clear the CMOS with all power removed and then put the jumper back on pins 1 & 2? did you try the board out of the case on a safe work surface? cpu, heatsink/fan and ram as well as video installed and no other connections and see if that does any good... manually short the power on posts together and see what happens. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="ftp://geerynet.d2g.com" target="_blank">ftp://geerynet.d2g.com</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="ftp://68.98.180.8" target="_blank">ftp://68.98.180.8</a> Abit Mirror <----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it could change!... over 120,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "Gabus" <Gabus RemoveThis @email.com> wrote in message news:jqj3vvcj5svkrht9gtqrc4jj4n1qrk1kr3@4ax.com... > I've built my own computers since the BH6 celeron 300@450 days.

so you cleared the CMOS with the jumper on pins 2 & 3 and all power removed and then put the jumper back to 1 & 2? -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="ftp://geerynet.d2g.com" target="_blank">ftp://geerynet.d2g.com</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="ftp://68.98.180.8" target="_blank">ftp://68.98.180.8</a> Abit Mirror <----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it could change!... over 120,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "Gabus" <Gabus.TakeThisOut@email.com> wrote in message news:2hp3vv4oi1sjvtp3jcs93dlqch6dm7fjsi@4ax.com... > Further checking reveals that I can get past the 'AF' code and no > beeps with only one stick of ram, but it now hangs at 05, which is > the blank out screen and clear cmos error flag according to the > manual.

yup..cleared cmos..another thing that's different from my Th7..is that the read out shows '00' with power off..have to actually pull out the power plug to make it go out. Have another machine that uses the same kinda ram..will try my Muskin in it tomorrow..after that guess I'll have to RMA the M/B.

seems to be a compatability problem or might just need more voltage with my Muskin level ll..maybe. will try some generic PC2700 stuff next. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=f84a84ba5977ef584f2af9a564bd7...&thread >> Stay informed about: Abit AI7 no boot

Tom: Put in some Corsairs PC2700, booted right up. Started increasing voltage, at 2.8v. the Muskin Level ll booted. Seems to be a somewhat common problem, have read of a number of people that have RMA the AI7 for the 'AF' or some other post error, mostly with Level II ram but have found one post on other High Performance ram too. Thanks for your help. >> Stay informed about: Abit AI7 no boot
