Has anyone used this combination successfully? Basically, the channels do not decode directly, they are sorta mixed up. Per tech support, I updated to the latest Realtex drivers, but still no dice. The tech finally told me that he thinks this is a compatibility issue b/w the board and the...

Please help. My computer recently died. Power supply OK. Changed out motherboard with a new ABIT AI7. Plugged everything in, and as soon as I start the computer I get a siren (alternating high-low beep), and the computer shuts off. Nothing on the monitor. Fans all seem to work in when booting....

How safe is it to use this utility to upgrade the Flash ?? Should I download the latest flashmenu.exe posted on the Abit site or just use the one provided with the board ??

Hi I just updated the bios of my AI7 mobo, and after that I can´t seem to boot from the RAID drive. In the bios I set: Bootable Add-in device: OnChip SATA RAID OnChip Serial ATA Mode: RAID SATA RAID ROM: Enabled This should after my old configuration work, but, it doesn´t. Cause in Hard Disk Boot...

Has anybody tried updating there onboard sound drivers with this moainboard. I tried wdm_a359 from realtek , they seemed ok at first. Far cry worked fine. Battlefield 1942 loses its sfx every now and then, so ive gone back to the ones supplied from abit.

Have NF-7. Recently, after a few minutes of use, an a alarm sounds (two tone - such as Eurpoean Ambulance tones...) and soon after the computer shuts off. I can restart and then it will happen again. Ran Symantek newest version anti virus - no problems found ?

Don't get me wrong, I love my AN7, even purchased a new one to replace the failed one. I use a heatsink that uses the 4 holes around the processor for attachment. I installed it using new fiber washers / metal counter sunk (cone head) screws like I had on other boards. Over the course of several...

Has anyone had a problem with slow performance and intermittent pc freezes/total lock up after installing the latest nvidia drivers? My system would just totally lock up and ctrl alt del did nothing. Had to hit the reset button to recover and then my bootup time was excessively long after logging...

I have an AN7 system that has been running for well over a year. Came home to find it locked up. Rebooted to have it fail at code AF. I've determined that any RAM installed in either of the first two slots (channel 1) will trigger this. A single stick in the third slot (channel 2) will...

Hello all, I received as a christmas present, a brand new Abit AN7 V1.0 motherboard. With it I received a stick of 512 PC4000 Cosair DDR SDRAM, an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton 333 CPU, Hitachi 160GB SATA hard drive, and a new PNY Nvidia 5200FX Ultra video card. My complaint is this: when I put...

Hello My m/b only 3 months old has started not to boot up correctly. Lights are on and fans wurr but graphics card will not power up in its PDCi slot. Fan on graphics card doesn't spin and no power LED. Takes about 5 or 6 power on/offs to start up then need to go into BIOS before it will boot...

I am getting random beeps only when playing games with an otherwise perfectly operating computer. The mobo is AN7 rev 1.0, cpu AMD 2500+XP (barton) with 512mb of DDR 400 memory. Video card is ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. As I said the beeps are random and no other symptoms have cropped up. Any help is...

Does anyone know what a post error of AF means. I am trying to put together a new system and I get a long beep repeated about every 3 seconds and a post code of AF. I can't find a description of that code anywhere.

AS above, the HLED(HDD)led only lights at bootup and not where there is any disk activity. It is connected right. Also I get a cmos error every few days and the message says the bios will reset to default. This is new board and have only had it a few days.

AN7 with the latest BIOS. Windows XP installed with all updates. Reboot works fine. Shutdown hangs. Any ideas how I can fix this?
