Abit AV8 motherboard installation problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt,alt.comp.hardware.homedesigned,alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I installed a new abit motherboard socket 939. I installed everything
and turned the system on to get an error code of 7F (Switch back to
text mode if full screen logo is supported. If errors occur.... etc
etc.) What should I do to correct this??
Thanks to anyone who can help me. Abit, in the manual, suggest if you
experience problems to go to the newsgroups.

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was messing around with the power supply, and when it wouldn't start I thought it was broke for good.

Continuous beeping and the 7F error message.

Turned out though that it was just a jumper that had come off while I disconnected the ATX connector. As soon as I put it back on the system started no problem.
The moral of this story: double-check your jumpers.
