Since you are unable to get into the bios ALA black screen and blue line at the bottom, the only recourse would be to swap the bios chip itself with a known good one if you can to eliminate the possibility of some other motherboard component starting to fail. |

have you tried clearing cmos?
have you tried to manually configure your cpu? refer to your manual.
maybe one of these steps will let you access bios
some suggestions |

A cut and Paste from http://www.viahardware.com/faq/kg7kr7/bios.htm#When I boot the BIOS all it says is "BIOS checksum error, press F1 to continue...". What should I do?
You should also try clearing the CMOS by removing the machine's power cable (important!) and then using the CCMOS1 jumper to clear the CMOS memory - then reboot and immediately enter SoftMenuIII to set the correct CPU speed and then the other BIOS settings you require. If this does not help, then you probably have a corrupted BIOS and will need to replace or reprogram it.
Note that companies such as BadFlash exist, who will reprogram your BIOS chip for a modest fee. A BIOS flashing service is offered in Germany by www.DerPCDoktor.de, in Italy by www.elma.it and in France by electro.proxone.fr. Alternatively contact Abit directly who again will sell you a new BIOS chip for a similar cost. To prevent these problems in the future you may wish to consider using a BIOS Savior.
Good point Vera, about the clear CMOS, especially after a Bios flash. |

thanks to all for the reply,
i just thought of something else
took of the cooler from the cpu, all the corners from the core are chipping off. i think this is the problem.
but the cpu still works, is that possible |

It is possible as long as the core and interconnects to pins are not damaged, I had a Duron chip with what appeared to be a small hole or pit on the corner that functioned just fine. |
