View Full Version : p3 1000E + abit be6-2 rev1.2 = no boot!!
please help..i've tried everything i could. clearing cmos, taking out soundcard, nic, etc..replace cmos battery..but all are to no avail.. please help.. thanks
:(
Was it overclocked??
Try pulling everything out and re snapping everything back together again and see what happens ..
How about your PSU are u sure it is working?
Well I dont know if this will work but if I turn my PSU off and then on again my optical mouse its light will flash..
Good Luck
it was not overclocked.. the cpu is brand new..somehow, i found sound reddish liquid in one of my mobo's capacitor...mmmm.. i think this is not good....even my 550E cant restart. i think the psu is ok. i've been fixing this **** the whole day...i think it's time to change the mobo
Hmm thats odd.. Before I spilled alcohol over my mobo near the AGP area... Still works fine hehe...
Well good luck then if your going to buy a new mobo.

You have a BE6-2 1.2, right? Those boards (before the 2.0 boards), and the BF6, were famous for using ****ty (For lack of a better word) caps, that simply could not handle the load after extended use. If you do a google search for alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit (usenet), and search for "Capacitors" or "Caps" or "BE6-2 caps/capacitors" or BF6, you will turn up a TON of hits about this problem.
The problem only seems to plague the BE6 2 1.1/1.2, and BF6 1.1 boards, but not any of the 2.0 or 2.0 raid boards.
the fix is easy if you know how to solder...you just need to replace the caps with caps that have a higher uf rating. (again, search google for details). The caps are VERY easy to come by. you could also try RMA'ing the board to Abit.

yeah, sounds like the Capacitor went bad. Abit does take some time to RMA so you might consider trying to fix it or getting a new board.
hey..i saw smoke coming out from one of the resistor but i booted the p3 1000E up now!!!!! it's at 1240mhz now..but once i shut it down..i may have to wait for a long time to boot up....no signal from any peripheral...mmm....i think it's time to replace the mobo..

Yes in this case you better replace the mobo. Cuz you saw smoke it's good bet the damaged capacitor (with a now wrong value) is already taking down other components with it. You don't wanna fry your CPU! Even with a replaced capacitor I won't turst the board anymore, smoke = trouble! Components are damaged and will fail even when they seem to work at this time. I didn't get if your's is a FC-PGA CPU but if so I recommend getting an Asus TUS-L2c cuz you'll have even more OCing options.

but this tusl2-c doesnt support voltage tweaking!!

Does it have a VIO setting also?.. cauze not all boards have option for changing VIO setting. My BE6-2 rev.1.2 is working silky solid heehee.. i luv it.. i luv it.. 1380, rock solid now..
becareful though...this abit be6-2 is famous of frying.. my friend has one and it fried after about a year and he is not overclocking!!! now mine fried...i started to have a little bit bad impression about abit:confused: btw, i just order asus culs2-c:)
Is the Abit BE-6 famous for frying I had this mobo for 2 years and I haven't overclocked since these past months still works good even after I spilt alcohol over it.

Heehee.. tell me about it. Not only I dropped the big couple of drops of Super glue into one of BE6-2's PCI slots but also pinched the hell out (by accident) on the Southbridge chipset trying to remove the HS(had it on long ago) by force and uh oh... I think I broke it!.. uhh.... lemme check. Oh?.. still silky stable... hmmm.. this thing is tough. lol :D
BTW, Abit is not famous for frying just because someone had his mobo fried. The most problem is usually caused by the user, not the hardware. The user must know what he/she is doing, then the hardware will be just fine. Applies to all hardware, not just BE6-2. Besides, this mobo outperforms memory throughput compare to any other i815E chipsets, Via Apollo chipsets, etc.. with the same type of SDRAM. Those don't even have DDR.. at least I haven't seen them yet. ;) :rolleyes:

Your correct ;) Nothing changes until you actually do something to it :D

Hmm... I have a Be6 II v2 it has a 1/4 PCI divisor. So are you talking about the AGP? Did the older versions not have the 1/4 divisor?
Also I must say that as of late my Be6 has become MORE stable over time. When I first recieved the MB and I performed an overclock that would lock before the OS booted, the system would freeze and require a CMOS reset and also some time for the MB to cool down. Why it did this then and not now I have no clue. I just remembered many nights when I had to wait over an hour to get my system back online.

Yup I feel the same about my BE6-II v1.1. She has a 1/4 PCI divider and has become more and more stable overtime but I think it's the combo of CPU and mobo. Like the CPU plus mobo need to burn-in together you know. At first I couldn't even get stable at my current speed (132Mhz) and needed 1.95Vc and 3.8Vio for her to even run for a few minutes, and often she wouldn't even restart immediatly after shutting down. After solving a few IRQ-sharing issues I'm now running fine for months @132FSB with 1.85Vc and the default Vio of 3.5. She also runs upto 135/136Mhz but I need to up the Vc to 1.9 and Vio to which I don't really like plus I can actually sense more heat coming from the system! At my current speed she's rock solid, I make images under DOS, and can install windows etc. etc. Then again I see many people running these boards with very a very high Vio of 3.8 or 3.9 and they all seem fine. I just like to convince myself that my OC is kinda on the safe side for my hardware :D
OK I have a Abit-BE6 and is there more than one rev... If so how would I find my rev...

By the way is that your case in teh avatar? Looks really nice espically how you made neon lights and how they are now your CD Rom light and HDD LED and stuff..
If so how did you actually do it for the cd rom and stuff looks phat :D

yep yep.. my vio is at 3.80 and been at that setting for long long time. The temp on the mobo chipsets are all nice n cool.. Never baked any mobo chipsets nor the CPU. BTW, is that pic in your profile your computer case? You modded it?

Yup that's my case, here's a larger image of it. Those aren't neons actually but a 12V tubelight at the bottom with blue foil around it. I really should take a few new ones cuz there are two metal bars vertically mounted over the side window now...

Looks very nice. it sure would look darn good at night too! :p
I want me one of those for Christmas hehehe
guys..i know why my board fried!!!!!!!! never plug the delta fan directly to your mobo!!! i came across an article saying that doing so will fry your mobo!!! buy a 3-4 pin converter and plug that damn fan to your psu!! it's too late for me
here's the link
http://www.pcpowerzone.co.uk/reviews28.html
good luck all!!!
it still shouldnt kill your motherboard. the delta just blows the header that its plugged into. i have a delta and 3 to for pin converter laying arround somewhere. im not using it becasue its too damn loud.
Bah that couldn't be the main reason why it got fried that bad.

ebola..you're right..my 3 pin connector in my mobo is fried..i saw smoke coming off a resistor nearby :p
