Also, check the capacitors on the MB.
The Abit PX5 that's in there was of the year where many computers
had the problem with bad capacitors. The row of capacitors to the right of the CPU are for the voltage regulator. If they are swelled or loose they are bad. And the tops should be flat not bubbled, if not flat where the 'K' is they are going bad. I've only had one MB with this problem, a SOYO, but I've used many Abit MBs for tears and never had a bad one. But in the Abit newsgroup you'll find many did have problems with capacitors.
