ABIT IC7 Problem - Turns on then right back off.

Just got back from the computer show with a nice new IC7 board..

Only problem is, damn thing won't turn on. I'm pretty sure I just got a defective motherboard because what happens is when I press the power button it will turn on for 1 second then cut right back off.

I have a old IT7 that I can plug in with nothin on the board.. no cpu/vid card/mem, turn it on and it will turn on and stay running. If I try to do the same with the IC7 it just turns on and off.

Once when I was trying to clear the CMOS I turned it on and it stayed on but that doesn't do much good.

So in short, I'm pretty sure it's just a defect. Just wondering if anyone here had any other ideas?

Thanks,

Join the club bud what the number serial on your board mines a C3E001... . Im RMAing it tomorrow. Mine shut off after 1/10th of a seccond

d33068 here..

So this is a known problem?

Anywho I just found out this board doesn't support 400fsb and i'm running a 1.8ghz northwood cpu.. this is just a 2nd computer for my girldfriend.. I'm gonna return it tomororw and get something else.

Any sugesstions? I'd prolly go IS7 but I don't think they have that one.. not sure. Might go with an ASUS board with the same chipset.

When I said ASUS board w/ same chipset I meant same chipset as the IC7 because from what I read the asus board with the 875p can run at 400mhz fsb.

looks like your issue is different then mine then

Found out it was just the power supply. They do run at 400mhz fsb too.
