I have been reading several posts here about issus with this ABIT board and an AMD 2900XP cpu. It came as a bundle from tigerdirect.
I upgraded my son's machine about 3 weeks ago with this package. Untill last nite it worked fine. Last nite however, it started making the beeping error noises and shutting down.
I toyed with the bios and checked the heatsink and fan thinking it was a heating issue.
The machine did reboot after a while ( I figured because it was cooled down) and worked fine for the remainder of the evening and this morning, but then it started again.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem that will fix it once and for all?

Well, the XP line is known for being a little hot...so maybe it is a heat issue. Either that, or a broken chip.
What are your temps?
Use "everest home edition" (google it) and check out the temps.
