ABIT IP35 PRo start problems

I would swap out the power supply first unless yours is new and a decent brand such as; antec, enermax, corsair, pc power and cooliing, seasonic, or ocz. I would also check the power button switch and wire; after all that pushing, it may be a goner. I just got a used htpc case off craigslist, and it works great. You might also check newegg today for any leftover cyber monday deals.

I have the same board. The Post Code you have is F, which is perfectly fine. The Post codes/error codes are int he user manual on the Abit site, or the actual manual. Or Check http://www.abit.com.tw/faq/code.html

no , infact..an interesting fact has come out. When I reduced my RAM the pc starts in lesser attempts. And the quicker I switch it on after a full shutoff, the faster it boots/starts. Only when the complete power is shut off does it create this problem. It seems that everytime I push the power button, something gets charged and thus the repeated attempts finaly makes it on. Could it be the power suppy(though I have an original Antec, 380W).
