AV8 siren - not booting

Hello!

I have got a brand new ABIT AV8 mobo with a 3000+ amd 64 winchester CPU and
512MB DDR from APACER.

When it boots, I get no screen. I get, after a few seconds, a sound that is
like a siren.

Everythings seems to be connected the right way.

I have cleared CMOS. Other suggestions?

Thanks!

Lot's of people having problems with the AV8 and Winchesters. Something
about you need a newer bios. The siren sounds like an overheating alarm
which might be true and might be bogus. Search back through the group for
answers.

Thank you, but I am not sure the searching back brought the correct answer.

I need a Newcastle core?

Kind regards,

No. You need a later bios. But that's catch 22 if you can't boot it with
the bios you have now, how can you flash a newer one. :-) Try getting a
new bios from Abit. And I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it. I'd RMA the
board a hundred times first.

Hi!

Thank you!

Of course I will not pay for that, I am not crazy :-)

I'll RMA the whole thing or ask a newcastle core cpu from my dealer and
flash mysleft!

Thanks again!

Kind regards,
