in trouble! (again)

[justleftlife]

Yeah i am pratial to asus because i had a Abit Fry on me taking the chip with it. i had the abit for like a week! lucky for me i know how to talk to the losers at best buy who think they know what they are talking about!

man you are confused! I'm not saying you have to like Asus if you've got good reason to not like them I understand. But Abit? I have 2 friends that bought Abit boards and had to return them on an RMA before they ever got into their systems. One of them even after getting his new board had the PCI slots die on him after about a week (no overclocking or anything that might cause weird problems just one day there was no connectivity to the PCI devices) I've seen too much go wrong with Abit's to hold any kind of esteem towards them.

I agree dude, the Abit board caused me nothing but headaches and system crashes when I used it.

I'm running out of money, so I'm going to wait a month and then try plugging my cpu (athlon 64 4000+) into the old abit mobo to see whats what. i really hope my cpu isnt dust.

how did you clear the bios if it wouldnt boot?

I have an asus mobo with the same AI overclock program. It has a safety built in. when i overclock my cpu to much and i have to kill the power because of a hang or whatever. All i have to do is turn off teh comp for 30 seconds and wait for teh beep. if i dont get a beep i just restart and i get the beep. then after the POST screen it will tell me my overclocking attempt has failed and allows me to enter bios to fix it or to sart with the default settings.

i imagine your mobo is the same way so i say its probly got nothing to do with overclocking .

i do remember my mobo led didnt come on but for the life of me i cant remember if it was my old intel board or my current ati board. i dont remember how i got it to work but i did.

check plugs, swap any spare parts you have and see if that helps
