is it the bios :( im clueles now ive spent ages on it and ive had enough this shouldnt be happening if anyone can help me out on what to do ill be greatfull
 
I hope this is not the case, but you might have a bad board. My first Abit ST6 was dead, just like you're describing. No POST, no display, just the fans and HD spinning up. I had a KT7A that was also dead out of the box.

**Blatant Opinion** Abit QC has really hit the dumps. Ever since the demise of their BX boards, they have suffered in the quality area. Whenever you buy an Abit board now it's a crapshoot whether or not you get a working board. It's no joke that RMA stands for "Return My Abit".
 
well its got to be the bored and its going back one way or another cos its faulty not my problem tried everything and i want my money back
 
try holding down the " Insert " key while booting...
It offten helps.
 
no post

Try removing/reseating your ram... maybe even in a different dimm slot. That worked for me when my new AK35GT-R wouldn't post or beep. If you have another computer handy, test the things required to post... video card, ram, & cpu to rule them out of the problem.
