Another weird problem with a dead Abit KT7: any ideas?

[Lost-in-America]

This is one that I can't figure out. The other morning, the unpleasant sight of the 'blue screen of death' greeted me as I sat down to my machine. The machine is:

T-bird 900 (clocked at 900)
Abit KT7-Raid
256M Crucial 133MHz
SB Platinum 5.0
Rage 128 AGP with 32M
IBM ATA-100 30G (on primary Promise channel)
Windows 2000 SR-1
etc., etc.,...

Anyways, when I rebooted the machine didn't even beep. The fans came on and the floppy, hard drive, and cdrom lights came on---but that's all. Then I pulled out everything but the memory. We're down to just the fans now. Out comes the memory too! Still just the fans.

So I reset the BIOS with the cmos jumper. (Yes with the power unplugged). When I put the jumper back to normal and turned the power on, I got one long beep. So I put the memory back in (one stick) and we're back to just the fans.

I pull the memory back out, but I still only have fans. I reset the bios, but no relief....I can only get the fans.

I checked the battery. It seems to be OK (3.1v or so). I reseated the Bios. I dug up my rabbit's foot. I can't even get the beeps.

Well anyone got any (good) tips? I'm all ears.

Thanks in advance.

Im not all that knowledgeble about this stuff, but it sounds to me like you've got a dead cpu, might of overheated...maybe there wasnt good contact between HSF and core...
