New Mobo & CPU won't post
I have built a brand new system with an Abit AV8 pro motherboard and an
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice skt 939 and it will not post. I have tried everything including different ram and vga cards etc. also clearing the cmos. There are no other items connected and it still does the same. I get the guru code 9.0 on the motherboard display which is where the bios should take over and then it starts a two tone beeping sound like a siren! I have no way of testing the cpu on another board. I think the PSU should be big enough. Could it be the Bios? HELP!! Abit AV8 Pro mobo AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice cpu (Retail) 400W PSU Ian |

That sounds like an overheat alarm, also 400 cheap Chinese watts are
more like 200 watts. I prefer Thermaltake power supplies myself.

I strongly suspect your AV8 is ective. -Dave |

Cleaned the heat-sink/fans, thermal compound(had none!), put in a HD rack (with front&back fans), added round IDE cables yesterday. Now it's running 10C cooler(case 40C, CPU 44C (P4 2.4Ghz)(light load)). That give you a clue, Ian. Does the CPU heat-sink fan spin when power is applied? Is heat-sink properly mounted, with thermal compound(or pad, or something)? -- Bob R POVrookie |

Thx,
Yes the fan runs normally, and I've applied new thermal paste etc I've tried everything including different RAM and even zero RAM all failed still got the same prob seems to point to a cpu overheat.

Did you try reseting the BIOS?[1] (sorry if I'm suggesting things you've already done). It may be in an overclock situation for that CPU (catch 22 since you can't get into the BIOS program to look!!). I assume you've already double checked ALL connections, made sure nothing is shorting-out the MB, power supply is not set to 220v on an 115v wall socket (G), pin one on CPU is matched to pin one on socket(yeah, pickin' at straws now), etc.. Visited the Abit and Athlon sites to see if there are any bulletins on a problem? [1] - my Abit has a jumper, set it for 10 seconds (power off!!!) and was back at square one (I had pushed my memory RAS/CAS toooo far, and ended up about where you are now.). -- Bob R POVrookie |

Sounds like bad board or garbage power supply. I'll guess the latter. |

Bob R POVrookie Thnx tried resetting cmos loads of times, I've never managed to get the cpu to post and it's all brand new parts, so no way i could overclock it. I wasn't thinking 'you overclocked it', just that somehow it got set that way. Clearing the CMOS should eliminate that possibility. At this point I'd contact Abit tech support. It's possible the CPU chip got fried (static electricity can destroy, maybe before you got it.). Without testing equipment, the only thing you can do is swap parts until you get a different reaction. Did you get the CPU separately? Some companies will let you swap (Fry's did that for me with a 'questionable' memory module). I feel your pain! -- Bob R POVrookie |
