NF7-S Alarm at Bootup

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit (More info?)

I have had an Abit NF7-S motherboard for about a year now and used two AMD
processors during that time. I upgraded about four months ago to a Barton
2600+. About a month after the upgrade, the motherboard alarm started
sounding (not the BIOS beeps but a steady alarm) during bootup. I can hit
the reset button and the system will boot normally on the second try. I'm
running the following setup:

Antec case w/350W Antec power supply
Abit NF7-S motherboard
AMD 2600+ CPU (not overclocked)
Coolermaster Aero 7+ CPU fan/heatsink w/3 case fans
1.0 GB (2 x 512 MB) OCZ PC3200 RAM
MSI Geforce4 Ti4800SE 8x AGP 128MB video

Any ideas what's causing the alarm and any ideas how to make it stop?

Thanks,

Mark

I have the AN7 with an Aero 7+ that has the same problem but only when I
have the Aero 7's fan at it's slowest speed on boot, speed the fan up a bit
= No alarm.
I found it was because of the ABIT EQ programs fan speed alarm - too slow
and it sounds.

Hope that helps,

You can probably also disable the fan alert in BIOS

This could be a voltage issue. I suggest you goto Abit forums and
post about it there in the nforce 2 section.
