Whatcha think?

Well my Abit ST6-RAID mobo went skyward two days ago. Decided to overclock to 147MHz, and it didn't like it, so I took it back to 142MHz and...nothing. On pressing reset button, I got 1 2 sec long beep repeated continuously. On power off and restart I got:

All LEDs, although after the second time the HDD LED didn't come on.
All fans (4 x case, PSU, HSF, and gfx fan).
No display.
No beeps at all.

I swapped out the PSU then the gfx card, then the CPU...still nothing. Finally swapped back to my trusty old BX133-R and it was fine!!!

So what's the verdict?
I'm guessing at either the PCI BUS, chipset (temps were in mid 40s before problem), or perhaps the DMA 0 controller (some book suggested it).

Whatcha think?

If worst comes to worst this is the perfect opportunity for an upgrade. Price drop next week most likely following the Northwood release

Well I'm hoping I can convince the Abit rep that I don't want another as a replacement on my warranty. That is if I can get one considering the oc'ing.

Might ask for a KR7A instead, hmmm...and a lovely new XP1900.
