Why does my Abit KN8-SLI system reset when running the sound card driver?
This issue might stem from the sound card driver. To resolve it, during the 'Starting DOS…' procedure, press the SHIFT key to bypass CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then, use a text editor to edit CONFIG.SYS, adding 'REM' at the beginning of the line that loads the sound card driver. This disables the sound card driver.
What to do if Abit KN8-SLI Motherboard system hangs when updating the BIOS or setting wrong CPU parameters?
Always clear the CMOS jumper before booting up again.
What to do if my Abit KN8-SLI Motherboard system fails to boot up after a mechanical power-off?
Ensure there is a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off cycle.
