any suggestions please post
 
I found the A7M266 BIOS quite sensitive. Quite often the thing didn't boot, when any of the settings were even slightly out of the regular range. I always could revive the board, by setting everything BY JUMPER to default. Set the board to "jumper" operation, and then set FSB to 100. Taht always revived the thing. BTW: it's a very good board. 🙂
 
Did you by chance set the board to use ECC? That basically kills the computer until you zap the CMOS.
