abit ip-35 boot problem

drunkenmonkey · 29 Jan 2008 at 20:10

this board only lets me boot (from switching on from the plug) if there is no usb devices (keyboard/mouse) plugged in or unless i take ram out to leave one stick in

anyone have an idea which bios setting to adjust

dont tell me to update the bios as i dont have a floppy drive anymore

I'm reading your post and thinking....no keyboard plugged in how is he going to change anything anyway?
Or are we saying it boot with keyboard in with one stick of ram?
Is the keyboard USB?

Duh me....it's late...only boot without USB mouse and keyboard

What memory are you using? Sounds like it may need a few more volts for starters, but dont go mad.
You could also look at http://www.memtest86.com/download.html
ISO makes CD, so don't worry about floppy.

Also try clearing CMOS.

i got 4 sticks of geil 1gb ull 800mhz ram
it blue screens everytime with 4 sticks in but is ok with 2 sticks(looks like il have to flog 2gb to a friend)

its ok if i leave power to the motherboard but have to unplug the mouse and keyboard to boot eveytime i switch off at the wall!

i suppose it could be worse it!

hi split

im using vista 23bit

i did try running that patch with 2gb installed but it said the patch didnt apply to my system when i tried to run it

maybe i should have tried with 4gb installed!

maybe service pack 1 will sort this "bug" out with vista

memory set to 2.1v

it would prob work fine running 64x vista
