Have you tried clearing your bios setting with the jumper on the motherboard
or by removing your battery?  If you have then you'll need to either do a
hot flash or order a new bios chip from abit.  Abit's replacements are less
than $20 (they were $10 plus shipping a year and you can order them on the
phone at  Abit in California (510-623-0500).  You want customer service at
that number.

Some computer shops have devices to program bios chips but I couldn't find
anyone in my area that had one when I needed it.  You could check around in
your area though.

Subject: [PCBUILD] BIOS Flash Problem


> Hi all,
> I just flashed the BIOS on my dad's PC (an ABIT SE-6) Mobo. The flash
progressed normally and all appeared normal. When the process finished, I
attempted to reboot, but got no post. I get no video, beeps, or anything
that gives me a clue to the problem. I downloaded the correct Bios from the
Abit web-site. I have never had any similar problems when flashing, and have
flashed several Mobos previously. I suspect something caused the integrated
video to go bad. I will try to find a PCI or AGP video card in my junk pile,
install it and see if it will boot then. My question is has any body had a
similar problem, and if so were you able to resolve it short of a new Mobo?
