So this is has been an ongoing situation with my motherboard that all started with a sound card. I bought a sound card off of ebay some time back and well it worked but the DOS support wasn't working due to IRQ conflicts (was still good for Windows games). I was told to try to resolve it in the BIOS only then to realize that there was no way to really do it and the documentation showed something that didn't match up with what i saw on my screen. So I was told to update my BIOS, which then didn't work and the BIOS was totally borked with no way to enter it and requiring a recovery disk. I was later sent a floppy drive, 2 disks, and one cable. the floppy disks were wiped during transit so I remade the disks myself by putting in the floppy drive in my pentium 4 system and doing it there. So once I did that, I put the floppy drive in the system with the ABIT BH6 motherboard and used the recovery disk to try and reflash the bios again. It failed to do so. It was suggested that the chip might have been faulty but just in case I was told to reseat it. I didn't have a proper chip pulling tool and really had a though time getting it out. But it did come out and then I reseated the chip and made sure it was fully in. After powering on the system again, now all I got was a blank screen and the only activity was the fans spinning. So I was sent another bios chip, one that is known to be working and flashed with the latest bios for the board. Put it in, and still the same thing; fans spin but nothing on screen. I was told to then remove the ram and all the cards and disconnect the drives in hopes that there would be beep codes, but nothing. Fans spin up, but no beep codes. And this is where I've hit a dead end.
