a7v600 problem

i bought an a7v600 motherboard, i installed everything i have and turned my computer on, but after 2 seconds it turned himself off again! after that i used another cpu after he stopped for 50 times, and then there was no problem

well no problem? that was what is looks lke
i had a new problem!

my computer turns himself off after half an hour?!?!?!
does someone know what this problem is??? i ran out of ideas

when i turn y computer on it says: hardware monitor has found an error. Enter power setup menu for details

i entered the hardware monitor in the bios but i don't see any errors
only this:
mb temperature 38c
cpu temperature 60c
cpu fan speed 2045
and some voltages at normal raid

cpu temp is pretty high... Other than that just check to make sure everything is on right.

Ya usually that cpu temp makes sense on load while playing like halo or something... but not idle

i wouldn't let my cpu go that high on any circumstance..

I have had this board for a couple of weeks now and its been "interesting"
What I have found is: you must have the `right` memory or you will be pulling your hair out trying to sort out whats wrong with it.
The hardware monitor error (in my case anyway) was it not detecting the cpu fan speed (at the right time ?) Set the option for fan speed monitoring to `ignore` and see if you still get the alarm.
To get it past the 2 second fan spin (apart from having a decent psu) is: jump the cmos AND remove the battery. Go and have a cup of coffee, walk dog, have a beer, watch some tv, whatever, but leave it alone.
Replace battery and push start button.
If you so much as cough near this motherboard, you will have to repeat this proceedure.
My cpu temp was high too. I found it was not giving it the correct voltage in the bios settings
Now : if someone can tell me, how the hell I`m supposed to tell my system, that I really do have a Gigabit Lan on this board, I`d be much happier

maybe you don't have gigabit lan?

New level of K7 performance
The ASUS A7V600 is the only solution that flawlessly combines the VIA KT600 chipset, DDR 400 memory support and 400MHz FSB to deliver excellent performance at an attractive price. Also included are Gigabit LAN, Serial ATA and AGP 8x for high-speed data transfer and peripheral connectivity.

How do you mean?
They forgot to fit it ?????

[Jason425]

hmm... ok i was just not familiar with that mobo's lan.. maybe you need a bios update?

Bios.
Tried 1005 1006 and the latest (beta 1007)
I have put my old realtek nic back in, am networked, no problems at all.
BUT the onboard lan is not picked up\recognised anywhere.
I have only found 2 other identical faults on the net and no where an answer (except RMA) :/

[Jason425]

sounds like you may have to rma if you want the onboard lan.. you installed the drivers for it right?
