Dead A-Bit

Hmmm... appears my Abit just rolled on its back and stuck its feet in the air.
Went out and came back to system lockup - hit the reset switch and............ nothing. No signal to monitor.
Power off/on and the speaker on the graphics card start screaming at me. Ive since rebuilt it all (including processor) into my old 8k5a and runs perfectly.
Anyone any ideas what might have killed it? Not touched the bios for a good couple of days before it so thought unlikely to be bios corruption?
Could it be the AGP slot? Jus bit weird that the radeon was screaming blue murder.
Also does anyone have much experience of RMA with overclockers? They seem to want EXACT info and has to be every last bit that came in the box but id guess that with all that once your past it they'd be ok?

Have you inspected the mobo closely?
Blown caps could cause your problems. I just replaced caps on one of mine, and it is fine now.

Aye, checked over all the caps they all fine and shiney.

Graphics card screaming = the onboard monitoring on the card has a speaker attached and it started giving the 2 tone "somethings not right" warning.
By overclockers I mean www.overclockers.co.uk
