i just flashed the bios on my abit p35-e to v18 and now i cant get anything out of it. was running comfortably at 3.6ghz but cant remember the settings i used.

ram is 4 x ocz pc2 6400 2gig

can anyone suggest what the timings should be?

i have tried volts up to 1.5, 1:1 mem and 400 x 9 with all kinds of variations, even left eveything stock and upped the fsb to 300 but it still wont boot into windows.

The RAM timings really shouldn't matter, just leave them alone. The voltages are the most important.

These are my settings on an IP35Pro....

External Clock - 400Mhz
Multiplier - 9x
DRAM Speed - 1:1.25 (DDR2-1000)

CPU Core Voltage - 1.52 Bios (dips to 1.43 under load)
DDR2 Voltage - 2.00
CPU VTT - 1.23
MCH 1.29

Re-seat the RAM

ram has been reseated a number of times and is fine now.

that dram speed maybe a little high but i will give it a try.

Bear in mind I run PC8000. You will need to drop to a 1:1.

thanks for your help but giving up now, tried those settings and still wont boot.

has a look at ocz site and they talk about this ram not supported on this mobo

even setting the timings and ram voltage just emits a long beep when booting.

time for a new mobo i think
