hrmm...

if it were me, I'd take the whole thing apart and start over.

You have the little spacers between the mobo and case, right??

all fans spin(including heatsink, vid card, etc), can also hear the HDs starting(its sounds like they stop after about 5-6 secs though)

Did you happen to try the ABIT INSERT key reset?

Like I said, if it's a BIOS setting that is wacked, doing that reset procedure will return your BIOS to fail-safe settings which means it will run the lowest settings for everything, including CPU clock/multiplier. That should get you to a point where you can at least POST.

I know you said you 'cleared' the BIOS, but I'm not sure if you pulled the battery, closed the jumpers or did the INSERT KEY rollback to fail-safe. Sorry if you already tried that.

Computers are like women sometimes.. You need to slap them around so they become afraid of you and won't fuck up again.

Yep, tried it.. same result. The no sync comes up as soon as I cut the power on..
