Abit KT7raid boot up problem?

[loki515]

I just purchased a new system and am trying to get it running and ofcourse I am having problems like always.F@#k I hate these things,but anyway,here's the deal.I put everything together and when I first tried to boot the machine booted up with a message saying something like a "chip unworkable"what does this mean?Then I decided to goahead and push enter.Well then it starts saying cannot work a drive,retry,abort,restart.Won't work then we go in the Bios to check to see if the thing is booting up in the right order.All good,well now for some reason I go and push save and exit out.Now nothing goes to the screen that says no signal from computer.I turn the machine off,try again same.Change video cards,samething.I take all cards out same .I take chip out same thing I have even changed 300 watt power supply and nothing.Always get the same thing ,NO signal from the machine.Even changed monitors.Please going on?Everything I try to do with these machines I run in to problems.Can't wait to know everything.Yeah right.PLease help

Re-set the CMOS and re-boot. If you get a video signal hit delete and enter the bios.

Set the CPU speed to 100 x 10. Save and exit.

Let us know your progress.
