I was going to throw a C2566 and overclock. First I dropped in the C2 and it would start reading the hard drives but would not een power up the video card. I tried to reboot several times and nothing. I then put my P3 500 back in and it worked fine. I then put the C2 back in and it would still not boot after several tries. I then cleared the cmos and same problem. I attempted to put my P3 back in and it would not boot after more then 20 tries. I also tried to hold the insert key down ,per Abits manaul's instructions, during boot to reload default settings and I get nothing. Looking for advice.

Wow man!
This is just a wild guess...
Power down,
Plug in your old trusty 500,
Clear CMOS,
Pull all your cards, but the video,
Check all your cable connections,
Power up.
Who knows? Sounds like you're in a pickle.

Check your Bios version, you need to go to Abit's webpage and flash the bios with their latest. If you don't have the latest version the mobo won't support C2's. Just a thought, hope it works.
