The Pro doesn't double boot. It uses the uGuru chip to set everything rather than the standard BIOS/chipset relationship. It hasn't double-booted from the get-go.

You can lap the CPU cooler but that would void the warranty. I like the Big Typhoon...modded with a medium speed 120 x 38mm Panaflo. Open box is $18 plus $6 shipping. Watch hot deals forum for this sale.
After many hours of testing different CPU and ram settings and running Prime95, computer and power were never off, I totally powered it down, and pulled the power cord. This morning I hooked it back up for some final tweaking before I give this to my son for Christmas. It started up but only single posted before Vista loaded. I opened up CPUZ and CPU and ram settings were back to stock. Restarted, booted back into the bios and my last oc settings were still there. Saved and exited, it double booted, checked CPUZ and my oc settings were there. Wierd. Anyone else experience this? I guess it does have to double boot to configure more than some parameters.Originally posted by: SerpentRoyal
These P35 chips need the double post to properly configure some parameters.

Oh damn, why couldn't Abit do this for all their boards then. I'm surprised it takes a "feature" to fix a chipset weakness that motherboard maker suppose to deal with.
What about other P35 based boards, Asus, Gigabyte, do they have double boot, or also have a dedicated chip or something.

Hi all
I have looked through this thread and can't find the solution to a problem I'm having and I hope someone can help.
When I switch the computer off power is still being supplied to the usb ports as my mouse stays lit.
I have disabled resume by usb under suspend to ram and set usb legacy support to OS and not BIOS, but I cannot get rid of the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.

What is "lap" mean?
I tried calling ZipZoomFly where I bought it to RMA it. But was told the 30 days are up and when I told them that 1/2 of that time was not having a Hard drive working, and then RMA it to the Manufacturer and my Ram had to be RMAed too.
He said in your case we will do you one favor. We will RMA the cooler if you buy anoter one. Meaning:
I paid shipping to Hawaii I will pay shipping back to them to RMA it after I buy and pay shipping a third time for the new cooler.
Then he said I could always RMA it to the Manufacturer and gave me a California phone and address and said that the cooler has a 2 year warantee. So I will call them later today, and see if I can RMA it. The cooler is supposed to be better than a Zalman of comparable ilk. and possibly the manufacturer will pick up the shipping from me to them and not charge the shipping to me. So I am crossing my fingers.

Switch to P/S 2 to avoid this problem. There is no jumper on the board to turn-off this function. Have you tested with 14 BIOS?

Thanks for the reply. I have tried my mouse through a P/S 2 adapter and it still stays lit up after shutdown. I have tried using BIOS 11, 12, 13 and 14.
The only solution is to power off completely but this wipes my overclock setting on the first cold boot. Guess I will go back to an older BIOS so that it double boots and loads with the correct settings.

Yeah, I've also settled down with BIOS 12 with the IP35E. It's a fast board, and I'll live with double booting until something changes. I think the BIOS 14 "work around" on double booting introduced some possible issue as identified by SerpentRoyal, such as setting loss. Also I've experienced non-starts on BIOS 14. Now I"m back to 12, and everything's good, except for double booting. If you run your computer pretty much the whole day, and then powerdown at night, and unplug, the BIOS14 doesn't help with doublebooting because once you pull AC power, the system has to double boot on the next cold start.

No, did you check if your case is bent.Originally posted by: Ballatician
Does anyone else have to push down significantly on the top-right of the board to screw it down?

By the way, as a symptom, I remember that upon flashing to BIOS 14, I always get a "BIOS Check Sum Error" code right after the restart after the flash, but then it'll let me go into BIOS. after that, there's no more error. Just that's odd.
