This is a PS to my previous post.
If the previous suggestion regarding your PCI driver problem does not help you might want to look at using the SIW (System Information for Windows) freeware program. It can be downloaded at the following link: http://www.gtopala.com/ .

The update I did to Windows SP3 with an Abit IP35 Pro and two other Asus board based computers were successful.
If all your known PCI devices seem to be working correctly and you do not see any errors or missing drivers in Device manager, you have a mysterious problem.
Windows updates do...
bryanW1995,
Doing a quick web search the best I could see was an Amazon Merchant with an out the door price for a new board of about $100. For about the same price you could get a remanufactured Pro board on Ebay.
Because of a great number of problems people have had with Ebay purchases...
Yusofu,
As this is your first post to these forums, welcome. Being relatively new myself, I have found the people here to be knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and in my case especially, patient. It is hoped you have the same experience.

Heidfirst,
The best I can do is tell you what I recall happening. The first time I tried installing the OCZ Gold memory into the Abit motherboard I got an LED board error of 87. It might have been 8.7. , but I do not recall.
Upon doing a complete BIOS reset and trying the Gold memory...
Well I guess I will report a first to you regarding the OCZ Platinum Memory. I am not sure it will get a system to boot to Windows, but it will allow the BIOS with the Abit MB to get to the BIOS setting with the system I have. If increasing the memory voltage at that point is the stop you see...
Heidfirst and All,
After some banging my head on the wall a few times, a solution to the problem was found. In an earlier post on this thread, a comment stating my lack of experience with computers was made. It was a surprise to learn the comment was truer than expected. As there is a chance...
it's still an IP35-E thread though so imo you would have been better posting it in it's own thread.
Or even better if you want activity for that specific mobo the abit USA forums.
As you say the chances of getting 2 mobos faulty is remote but the chance of getting 2 faulty with exactly the...
Heidfirst,
1. Most of the information I learned about this board came from this forum, and as there is much more activity here for essentially the same board in terms of the core chip set, I posted here.
2. You are correct in the error code does have decimal points. 8.7. There is no...
Attempting to upgrade to an Abit IP35 Pro board is not something I have been able to do for reasons that go beyond any possible explanation. Hopefully someone here might have some insights into this problem. A shorthand version follows. If you need more information let me know.
Moving from a...
DerwenArtos12,
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I just upgraded my system and regret not having taken more time in reviewing comments and asking advice from the people participating at the Anandtech form.
Hopefully my choice of an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard, a Nvidia 8800GT...
Buying used computer componets on Ebay is usually a big mistake.
Recently I made this potentially big mistake with the purchase of this CPU cooler.
The design of this CPU cooler appears to be solid, and the unit I purchased has worked well, so far.
Any comments about the pros and cons...
Slyer4,
I modified the batch file to put the computer into sleep mode. With this modification the PSU would not go into sleep mode. When I changed it back to shutdown it worked great. Having the DRAM and AGP voltage setting at high might be the cause of this, or perhaps the mobo does not like...
Sl4yer,
Thanks for the info, SetFSB works as you described. Moving from 277 to 290 is approximately a 5 percent increase and was reflected in the Super Pi test result. The time dropped from 21 ot 19 seconds (this is only reported in whole seconds).
Using the Batch file on the ealier thread...
This is my first post to these boards. Although I have spent quite a bit of time going through this thread, I cannot say that I have read the whole thing. For all that have posted here, Thank You!, the comments read so far have been very helpful. I just wish I had read them before I bought my...
