help on this abit board?
Ok I have a ABIT Bf6 motherboard with a PIII 1000 for over a year. Everthing worked fine. Now nothing was added new or changed. Just one day it did not boot, would not post. Just a black screen. So I tested all the memory in my other computer, a BE6. All the memory was fine I put a cel 300 in the BF6 and it booted and posted fine. So I thought it was the CPU. I got a RMA # and was ready to pack it up to send for a new one. BUT I thought let me do a test and put the PIII 1000 in the ABIT BE6 to see it it would work. I did not think it would. Well it did work, it booted right up and went right into windows. So I thought well its not bad after all. So I put it back into the BF6 and still it will not boot or post. yet a Cel 300 will Now I dont understand this why would this not work in the BF6 the same motherboard it has been working in fine for the last year. But work fine in the BE6. I am going back and forth trying to get it to work. it workd in one but nopt the other one. I thought that maybe the motherboard (bf6) was bad but if the cel 300 works fine. Can any one help me with this. You can even email me if you like at <mailto:> Thanks Anna

You have blown capacitors on your motherboard, a very common problem on the BF6. If you are in the USA Homie does top quality repairs...see his site for more info: http://home.att.net/~garyheadlee/ . I can help if you're in the UK. In some countries Abit themselves do a repair service but Homie does a better job because he changes all the capacitors not just the ones that have failed (as do I)

You have blown capacitors on your motherboard. Check the ones in a row beside the cpu slot, you're looking for domes tops or a brown leakage. Homie does repairs in the USA http://home.att.net/~garyheadlee/ , or in the UK I can help.
