| ![]() i bought a ic7max3 and a p4 3.0 prescott 2 months ago, putted everything together (powercolor 9700pro, mushkin pc3500lvl2) it didnt boot and i got a bios checksum error, wich means the bios is corrupt tried to flash it multiple times but after it was flashed, i got the same error again. so i ordered a bios chip from abit.nl, got it a 1.5weeks later but still didnt work, flashed that chip also multiple times but to no avail. in the meantime i bought a IS7 because i thaught my motherboard was broke. same error there. everything was checked if it worked and only the cpu remained. mailed with Jossua and he agreed to change the cpu because it was fubar. yesterday i received the new cpu, inserted everything on the ic7max3 -> no boot , in the IS7 -> bios checksum error. Jossua tested the cpu he said and i believe him. but whats the change that 2 motherboards are broke? this is (after 2 months) getting serieus enervating cause i cant play games + its getting a financial hangover. so components that are certainly working: graka (tested 2) , mem (tested it on another rig) could it be (hopefully not) that the fubar cpu broke 2 mainboards? |

| ![]() it would be a long shot, but it could be. Get new mobo's and you'll know for sure. Still I'd try other memory, might not be compatible with the mobo. Another PSU might help too. |

![]() | ![]() Yep might be the PSU, had +/- the same thing happen to me once, 300W noname PSU can be bad.

![]() | ![]() can't you go with the PC to a local PC shop, pay them €20 and let them figure out what component is acting up?

| ![]() owke this sucks heavy or my mushkin isnt compatible with an ic7 max3 and an is7 or the mem only works half (cause it worked on another system) tested it with my local shop (pctools.be) and he helped to check it for FREE! i'm working with a 256dimm now i bought just so i can use it now. going to run memtest with the mushkin on another system. (and selling it if it still works 100%) /edit: there are loads of people that use an ic7 and mushkin mem, so its fubar prolly :/ |

| ![]() lifetime warranty if I recall. And all the second hand gear you bought, isn't that still covered by warranty? |
