Ok guys, im having a problem with my abit ip35pro

Recently i been using affter effects and my computers been acting up when im rendering video files with a lot of effects added to them. Basically it would render to some point then freeze, and my speakers would make this high pitched pop/cracking sound(which sounds really scary,,, as if your powersupply just blew up) then my comp would just restart....

This had happened before, sometimes my comp would just lock up, and when i hit the restart button on my case the speakers would make that cracking sound... i never really took note of it until recently its been happening more frequently

Now at first i thought it was problem with my memory, so i downloaded memtest86 and decided to give it a try. However, when i went into cmos at start up to change "boot with cd" and hit save/restart, my whole computer would then just fail to boot, it would start up for 1 second, and the lights in my case would light up, then it just shuts down, then it would keep trying to boot but fail until i switch off the power supply

Then i have to manually reset my bios settings through the jumpers... and when i try to change settings in cmos, the exact same things happens again. I tried this several times and finally it worked and booted properly...

Now it seems to happen by chance... so whenever i change settings in bios, sometimes it would boot properly, sometimes it would fail completely and must reset the bios to default...

Is this caused by mb failure? or ram? help plz..
 
That exact same thing happens to me whenever I click save and exit.

But for some ODD reason if I go to a settings in the bios and hit F10 to save and reboot, It works.

My fans would cycle on and off, Then I'd hear a BEEP, BEEP BEEP, Then the try to come back on and this goes on until I unplug the PSU.

An Abit tech told me it was a setting in the BIOS I changed, I said the HELL it is, Because when I cleared the BIOS (Factory defaults) and then went to change the time, date, numlock on etc, NO CPU or ANYTHING regarding OCing, and saved, It did it again. HOW could changing the damn time/date or something that has nothing to do with OCing or timings or the such, Cause this.

I sat on the phone for over 45 mins wanting to talk to a abit tech about this, But gave up.

ya seems like we have the exact same problem. First i thought it was due to all my overclocking, but after setting everything to default manually with jumpers, and ONLY changing the "first boot device" from floppy to cdrom, i hit save settings and restart, boom, fails to boot...

seems like its the mobo's problem then? =/
 
Try the F10 key on first boot device setting in the bios and see if that works.

It did for me oddly enough.
 
how about some system specs?
It's hard to suggest things when you don't know what's involved.
 
i got
intel q6600
OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800
abit ip35 pro
evga 8800gts 320mb

this problem would occur no matter the comp is overclocked or not..like i said earlier, with everything set to default, just changing the time or boot devices could cause booting failure and i would have to reset everything with the jumper on the mb
 
corsair cmpsu-620HX 620w
BIOS: the latest official bios for ip35 pro
 
Soooo you guys aren't using new updated bios which usually have kinks worked out and are saying you have problems with stock BIOS......... I'd say try the newest and report back

i said i have the newest bios...

just flashed it last night, and fantomau, don't bother, still has the same problem lol
 
fantomau are you running your RAM at 2.2V?

fe_918, what are you running your RAM at (btw that gold is known not to be the best match for the IP35 iirc)?
 
i believe so, i had my q6600 up to 3.4ghz with 8x multiplier, and i think it was 425 or something, with ram set 1:1 ratio. And i either had 2.1 or 2.2v can't remember

But the thing is the computer would boot everyday normally, with everything stable. this problem only occurs when i try to change settings inside my bios (despite overclocked or not)

Oh and when it does fail to boot, the lcd thingy on the mobo shows the number "83" right before it restarts and tries to boot up again. I just checked my manual and 83 suppose to mean "Save all data in stack back to CMOS."

btw BUFF, can you tell me where i can find a list of rams that DOES match well with this mobo? I was just planning to buy another pair of these ocz golds cuz they are on sale for only 13bux right now =P

I guess the stock timings/volts, I never changed a thing in the bios for ram. I wouldnt know WHAT to change in the bios for that anyway.

My thing is: If its working fine, No need to mess with it, Or you may make things worse. So I dont mess with things I no nothing about.

I've tried to OC, But I dont know NADA about it so I just didnt worry with it, Eventhough I'd LOVE to go past 2.66GHz, Maybe 3.2GHz.

Wow, Looked at cpu-z and the BIOS says: 1x (BIOS: 10)

W/O going to the BIOS, This is what CPU-Z says:
