Abit BP6 system will not POST

[gaf at heli-vets.net (Jerry Feldman)]

I used to have a similar problem. In my case, the hard disk appeard to simply shut down. Since 
this was intermittent, I tried different things like reseating cables, replacing cables. It even 
occurred after changing motherboards and hard drives. 
Eventually, the power supply just died. I have not had the problem since. 
Power supplies can causes a lot of problems.
