foxconn motherboard code f9
ive downloaded manual and there is no code mentioned {f9}
it looks like foxconn does not have support for 5 year old boards
it a c51xem2aa board with the latest bios from their site
this just happened within the last month
usually the motherboard which has a code display on the board, when fully booted to windows will be 00

Foxconn does not have support for 2-year old boards. I'm serious.
Error F9??? Are you sure it does not mean press F9 to enter BIOS?
It would really help if you could take a picture of the error screen-I can't seem to find much info on this board, even in Chinese forums.

there is a led read out on the mobo itself
2 numbers flash as the pc boots, the numbers can be read as you look right on the motherboard
its not windows errors, it `s the numbers as you look right at the board itself
thanks for any help in advance

That is one exotic mobo, from quite a few years back. If I remember correctly only EPOX, SOYO, and Foxconn made motherboards with visual LED displays like this.
I went to the Foxconn site once more and lo and behold, the manual is right up for download again. (although the site only supports downloading from IE.)
the boot codes beginning with F are nVidia added, I see. It is likely to be an error with the chipset-if F0, F1, F2, and F3 are all related to hardware identification and COM ports, it would logically follow that it is a hardware error-the nVidia chipset includes everything on the board except the Realtek audio deck and in some boards a realtek NIC, so I'm afraid you might have to replace the board.

again thanks like i said in my first post ive allready downloaded the manual and there is no f9 in there
but its most likely the board {nvidia chipset}
on a good note though its gone back to 00
been working on with pc`s from wayback to the late 80`s
its been 20 years and i was thinking this 1 would outlast me, hehe
ive only got 4 or 5 years out of it
