AN7 - POST code AF ?

I have the same problem.

I think it may be a memory issue, since when I underclock my memory,
the issue goes away. I've just emailed ABit to ask.

I go along with those who say a memory problem. I had the 'AF' code on mine
and I re-seated the memory and it went away. I was "positive" that I had
properly seated the memory the first time, but being "positive" didn't
really mean anything. It was not seated right and this may be your problem.

I think I may have a more sinister issue.

When I had my Thunderbird/700 in my machine, I was running my memory
bus at 425MHz. One day while changing my latency settings from
2:3:3:8 to 2:3:2:6 (I had them lowered due to the O/C), the system
failed to boot.

Ever since, I have had to run my memory at 2:3:3:8 with a 380MHz
memory bus, even now with my XP/2800. If I run only one stick of
memory, I can push 385MHz, but nothing more. Otherwise, the system
just boots with "AF" code.

I got the same code and a memory re-seat fixed it for me too...
