you might try resetting the bios...I think it is an option on the menu. have you ever gotten to the cpu screen in the past, or overclocked or done anything like that?

you also might try reseating the processor just in case there is some dust or something that got in there (just grabbing at straws here)...sometimes the strangest things work.

Might search abit's site, or email them to see if that is a common flaw of that mobo.

We're missing a lot of information here -

Did you flash the BIOS and now that one feature doesn't work? - Is that the issue?

Or are we just tinkering with the settings and you tripped across one you can't adjust??

Typically, the chip set features interfaces with the I/O chipset.

Given ABIT's running track record as documented on this board, you might have the wrong BIOS for the board you have, or, possibly, you have a "generic" ABIT BIOS designed to work on several ABIT boards and your board's I/O chip set doesn't support that feature of the BIOS.

The above is speculation on my part, but possible.

So - tell us why this setting became a problem for you and perhaps we can help you out of the situation.
