Abit AN8 SLI motherboard problem

March 26th, 2006

Cannot resist the sweet deal that 2G Cosair XMS RAM for only $110 (usually is about $200), ordered Tue from newegg.com and got it on Friday. It does make a lot of difference on my desktop computer (DIY) - now I rarely hear my XPdriven box making any noise that I used to hear when I multi-task the poor thing.

Only minor issue for people who uses Abit AMD-based motherboard, if you refresh your bios, you might see the messing during POST: “System is running in Fail-Safe State. Please recheck - BIOS CMOS Setup”. Don’t panic, just clean up your bios (power off your PC, shortcut your CMOS using jumper, then power on for 5 sec, then restart your PC), it will go away. Sounds like the Bios bug..
