The F( error message at boot usually indicates that BIOS has detected an error that will not allow it to continue, If you can enter BIOS, try loading Bios Defaults, If you cannot enter BIOS, find the jumper or switch on your board which says CL CMOS, Move the jumpers to the CLR CMOS position for about 3 seconds and then replace it in its original position. If this does not take care of your problem, I would suggest you one at a time remove each card/ periphial untill you can locate the offending item....I know.....Pain in the rear, but unless you have the diagnostic equipment to locate the problem for you, A neccisary step. Hope this helps. Ed
