BH6 1.0x startup trouble

[snowcow]

Everytime I install something(or unplug the computer for a while) it will not start. I believe this is a bh6 problem. Usually I can just turn it on and off for a while(usualy over the coarse of an hour!!) and it'll miraculously turn on. When I press the power button everything seems to power up fine(fans spin, cd-rom's and hard drive start to spin-up) but my monitor never gets a video signal. What could the problem be?

had this problem with many abit boards. was the cpu.

changed the cpu (pII-300 @ 450) with a celeron 366 @ 550, problem went away. wierd.

Had this problem also.

I don't think it was the cpu , because I got the same problem even after switching to a p3 from a celeron.

I could never figure out why it does that.

I had a problem where I had to hard power off on the PSU (or pull the PSU power plug) and wait a few seconds till I plugged it back in and restarted the computer. It was a BE6 and I had that problem with 2 of them, both with different cpus. I believe that it had something to do with the mouse poweron ability since it had to store a small charge for the mouseon to work and you could actually hear a cap discharging on the board while you waited to replug the PSU cable in. it was not the cpu
