abit IP35-E freezes at logo ::(

[redzoneos]

problem: I press power button, everything looks good, I get a short single beep for successful POST... and then the computer just locks at the ABIT logo that says "press tab to show post screen, del to enter setup"

I can't go into BIOS or anything, it just freezes after the POST beep.

I have tried to clear CMOS, but strangely I don't get the "checksum" error thing you usually get after clearing the CMOS.

Possible problem?? suggestions are much appreciated!

***The computer was working right before I rebooted after a vista media center tv pack update...since then I have not been able to do anything... I can't see why an OS update like this would cause me to not get into the BIOS but I thought I would mention it...

nevermind i solved my own problem... guess i should have tried it before posting.

Anyway, if someone is curious... after installing the media center TV Pack update, for some reason my tv tuner (visiontek hd 650 pcie) failed to be recognized...

So I took the TV tuner out, and the computer booted fine... once vista ultimate started loading, it completed step 3 of 3 for the tv pack update....

I shut down after the installation was COMPLETE... and then reinstalled my tv tuner... everything is peachy now.

I had the same problem starting my PC, the screen is stooping at ABIT LOGO , but in my case the only way to fix it (temporary) is to shut down and un plug the power cord. After that is working but the problem is appearing again in few days, so this is annoying because sometimes i most unplug and wait 10-20 mins , if i unplug and plug immediately sometimes it doesn't work .
