i have an abit mb in the comp i built at home. i like it a lot, youll love the abit eq thing
do you have the fatal1ty?
was recommended to me from a good friend..
after reading up on them though, this video 9.f error is common with these boards.. i really don't feel like waiting another 3-5 days to get another one shipped in to find out it has the same prob. so im off to compusa to pay the 40 bucks more than newegg for convinience after work today (a nice 30 minute drive).
i boot the computer.. no screen.. motherboard has 9.f code... then one long 3 short beeps.. tried 2 different vid cards.. same ****, no matter what i do. after trying everything, last resort is new mobo..

no mine is an is7 series. check out abit's website at http://www.abit-usa.com and they may have some trouble shooting stuff there.
maybe try a pci video card, maybe theres something wrong with the agp slot.

tried both pci and pci express cards.. this board does not have an agp slot on it.. older card that i have was a pci 128.. new card is a 256 pci express. i made sure the cards were seated properly.
picking up a new mobo today. see how it goes
