Need help with a Abit SH6 please.

[Placid]

I am having a slight problem.
When I reboot or reset it will not boot up all the time.
I have to turn the power off then it will boot.
Anyone else have this problem or know if some bios or jumper setting that causes this?
I am not overclocking it yet just trying to get it to work well at default speed.
Thanks.

I reseated the video card and hooked up the temp. sensor.
I have not had a no-reboot yet.
*crosses fingers*

Well the problems resurfaced.

Speaking of temp sensors, does your RT2 sensor work? Mine has never worked, always says NA in the bios, and mbm doesn't read it either. Did I get a bad sensor?

I have not looked in the bios yet.
SiSoft Sandra shows it as the power supply/aux temp
and it seems to be the right temp. So I would say its working.
I put it on my video card as I prefer the cpu diode for the cpu temp.

I have never had these kind of problems so far with mine, although I must admit, if I were to hookup the temp probe, I would hook it to my GPU...the only problem I have is every once in a while it will not load the bios page, just the bottom part, and I have to reset. Other than that I have no problems and am at 161mhz fsb

I found the problem yesterday.
It was my ram.
Even thou crucial says the ram will work correctly with the board it does not.
I was using a 256mb module and and it is 2 sided 32mb ram.

I switched to 2 64mb crucial modules that I had that are 8mb single sided and the board is stable now and no boot problems.

I also noticed on the crucial site the 128mb modules they are selling for this board are the 16mb single sided type.

I think I will invest in some mushkin ram soon.
