OUCH!! First try and reset your bios settings.(there should be a jumber or even a button you can use. If that doesnt work, try and flash your bios.(Download your bios version in floppy...go in dos(Normally there is a bios recovery key you can press to start the bios-upload. Just have a search on the internet) If that doesnt work......How old is your Motherboard? ... If its still under warranty, send it back. I its not under warranty. Get in contact with the manufacturer, and see what they can you for you. GOOD-LUCK;)

That won't work, his BIOS is fubared, can't even go into DOS. You need either another IDENTICAL mobo, take out that BIOS chip, put it in your mobo, boot into BIOS, hotswap the BIOS chips, and then save & exit. Should burn the new BIOS onto the old chip. Either that or send it back to ABIT.
