      If your Abit Motherboard system fails to boot after installing the Sound Card Driver, it might be due to the driver itself. During the 'Starting DOS…' procedure, press the SHIFT key to bypass CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then, edit CONFIG.SYS with a text editor, find the line that loads the Sound Card Driver, and add 'REM' to disable it. After that, restart the system.

      If your Abit Motherboard system fails to boot after overclocking or using non-standard BIOS settings, try these steps: 1. Turn off the power supply, wait one minute, and then turn it back on. 2. Press and hold the key while pressing the power-on button. 3. Turn off the power supply or disconnect the power cord and open the chassis. 4. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery and change the jumper position from 1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data. 5. Repeat step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, remove the ATX power connectors from the motherboard and the button battery.
