Problem(s) with IP35-E

chalo good then..prob solved

Thanks for the topic even i faced same problem was just about to post same.....i was thinking ram to be culprit.....so its usb

@magnet - i thought the same and changed RAM from DDR2 800 mhz to 667. So now i am a proud owner of 2 'extra' pieces of 1 GB Transcend DDR2-800

Are all Abit IP35 E owners facing this similar issue or only a few.
Also does bios update or driver update really solve this issue.

Also what about Abit IP35 Pro users is this issue there.

Even I'm thinking of getting this mobo. Now I'm worried because I will likely have at least a USB printer attached and maybe even the mouse/keyboard on USB too...

I m using mobo since 4-5 months, theres no serious issue. BIOS 12 Final and 16 Beta 01 r best. I dont have any USB device except mouse. I think JMicron controller is culprit for causing instability when PC boots.

Some users have faced SERIOUS Trouble, PC unable to start if room temp under 15C, capacitor near CPU socket is culprit, Abit offers 1yr free repacement/repair warranty. PC starts after heating after 5-6mins. No new reports of this issue r comming.

I am seriously rethinking which might be a better P35 solution which offers rock solid stability and overclocks , didnt knew abit ip35 had any issues but it’s the best bargain at the price.

Nothing is perfect buddy, U r seeing so many Abit IP35-E troubleshoot threads coz people cant ignore it @ price its selling now. Intel genuine mobo runs too hot, Giga facing BIOS corruption etc.

Get DFI LanParty DK P35, 139$, RAID etc everything, very good features.

Is this the dfi mobo ur talking abt.
DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS
Link : Newegg.com - DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Yes, its mainstream version, DK << LT << UT .

Problem with dfi is warranty here..abit too is good after a long time i m using a mobo with good bios option..also i didnt needed the manual for usb power connection since all is written on mobo with different colours

Does the Biostar board also face problems?

I second that. The jmicron chipset is really really bad! Causes a lot of instability problems, and gave me one hell of a headache when i tried installing linux.

No, there is another cheaper version that actually competes with IP35E , DFI BloodIron P35.

I've been using MSI P35 Neo mobo for about 7 months now...
Its offers rock solid stability and even overclocks quite well.
Temps are pretty fine too.
And it doesn't have any issues with USB devices whatsoever.
So i think its a good alternative to this Abit mobo.
