Make sure that CPU is in there real tight. Install it while the mainboard is on a flat, hard table. Start by taking it out and pushing the CPU in as above.

There is a red LED light at the corner of the SH6. If it doesn't light up, the board is probably dead or not getting power. Also what CPU are u using? I think u need to remove a jumper if u are using a non-coppermine. I have 2 SH6 and they seem to be very good boards. Only gripe is an incompatibility issue with Adaptec 29 and 39 series cards.

haven't had any experience w/ the abit sh6 but look at the post "troubles with ABIT BF6" and that might work.
