Hi all, Recently I did the bios update which was supposed to re-calibrate the temperature settings for the board. Well it didn't... Sys temp 40, CPU idle 55.7, Power 50. Then after a few days, I come back to the PC, and see the temps looking correct (which no substantial change in room temp). ...

I'm getting the two-tone "police style" siren on startup. I cant work out exactly why but there's a possibility that my cpu temp probe is faulty - it sometimes gives readings of -127 degrees but when I remove the mobo and test things outside the case environment, it is ok. Right now it's doing...

I had (yes, I said had) an ABIT IS7 for couple of years and I was happy with the performance. The dreaded Northbridge fan began to make noise about a year ago but recently sounded as if it was goint to self destruct. I perused the newsgroups and decided the Zalman cooler would be a...

Hello, After about a year and a half I have been getting a lot of "Hardware Failure" messages in windows XP on my AT7 motherboard. I can only assume it's the motherboard since I have been getting these errors before and after I re-installed windows XP any ideas? Thanks

I'm about to buy a new 160 GB HDD for my old (but suitable) Abit BX6 with Celeron 300A overcloked to 466. Will it work? I've got the "newest" BIOS, in which descripion there is written: "Supports 40GB harddisks and above, However we aren't quite sure what the precise capacity is, since the...
