Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The ACPI in BIOS is enabled, like i said i had this problem with my old mobo and the only way to fix it was to manually select the HAL in the Text Mode of windows setup. I searched for about 8 months with my old mobo calling ECS,VIA,Seagate, and all partys were blaming the fault on one company...
I just did a fresh install of windows, loaded up all of my hotfix's and programs, went to shut down and got a screen saying "It is now safe to turn off your computer".
I had this problem with my old mobo but i thought it was fixed, i know what i have to do and that's change the HAL "Hardware...
I had a look and my CPU says, 0412 December 2004. So i guess it can't be unlocked. On the brighter side i got my Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0 today and it's great :D I bumped the FSB upto 200mhz and i'm now getting 2.3Ghz stable.
Thanks for all your help guys.

Yes i know athlons come in either colour that is why i'm trying to find out if mine could be unlocked, all i know is if it was made before week 37 or something like that it can be unlocked but the ones after that are somehow "Superlocked" and it can't be changed.
I do also realise the...
This is a picture i got off ebay, comparing my CPU to this it looks like i may have the brown packaging but i'm not sure can anyone identify it for me.

Bad news for me:(, the 2200+MP i got was faulty but i am still interested in getting a new MOBO for my 2600+ XP. I have read a few webpages on the NF7-S and i get the impression that i can put my Athlon XP 2600+ into it and still be able to change the multiplier. something about the BIOS in the...
sorry but i'm getting a little confused with the board you have said about, i had a look on the ABIT website but could only find the NF7-S HERE is this the one you are talking about if not can you give me a link:)

Thanks guys, i had a look on the Abit website but it dosen't tell you much. Does anyone know if the multiplier can be changed on these boards, and also if they have AGP/PCI locks in the bios.
