Abit IS10 Won't Post/No Signal

[arkus]

Have an IS10 mobo that either won't post or won't provide a video signal. There is power to the mobo (fans and drives spin up) but can't get a video signal. The mobo has integrated graphics btw.

Here's what I've tried so far:

-Removing mobo and remounting - checked no mounting screws are touching mobo
-with and without a gfx card in the AGP slot
-with drives connected and disconnected
-two seperate processors (PIV 2.4 & PIV 2.8)
-different DDR RAM (two 512mb sticks of Corsair together and individually as well as other unbranded memory)
-different monitor
-reseating CPUs, memory and both power connectors to mobo

Any suggestions/advice?

Try resetting the CMOS. Know how to do that?

Sorry, forgot to say I've also tried that, but seemingly had no effect.

I'm positive the motherboards aren't faulty, as I've tried two and neither work, can't believe I've got two dead boards - there must be something I'm overlooking.

Bad memory? If not, RMA.

Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.4 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

Take it out of the case, and boot it with minimal components (CPU, motherboard, RAM and Video card) to see if it can POST.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Ok, although the retailer stated it works with Prescotts, it doesn't. Popped an old Northwood in and it worked straight away. Apparently only revision 2 of this mobo (these were revision 1) works with prescotts, <sigh>.

Thanks for your suggestions nonetheless.
