ronin4740 wrote:*chuckle* okay, maybe you DFI fanboys are right - I've started having problems restarting the computer. The machine boots fine, loads windows fine, will hard reset fine but will NOT reboot or boot after a successful MS Windows shutdown without powercycling the PSU.
The POST code halts on #50. The next number in sequence is #52 which is initializing RAM. I've gone back to stock BIOS settings, reseated the RAM, swapped RAM slots around, done everything but tried different RAM (that will probably be tomorrow or weds) and can't cure the problem. Am starting to wonder if the AN8 is compatible with this variant of Corsair RAM...
I've emailed abit with their BlackBox utility and will see what they say. If they don't have an answer or if their answer is "reinstall windows" or "your using incompatible RAM" then NewEgg's getting the MB and possibly the RAM back.
Anyway, that's one of the reasons why there haven't been photos yet.

Well, not to say I told you so.....but I told you so. I have never had anything but problems with ABIT hardware. While they O/C well, they are unstable and some just plain don't work.
You need to RMA that board and go with the MSI Neo 4 plat or the DFI NF4 SLI-DR or Ultra.
