abit an78gs not Posting

hello in the process of building a computer and i am having some difficulties. it won't post.
no video comes out from the onboard card. theres a red light and green light on the motherboard and the heatsink fan spins. no drives dvd or floppy is hooked up nor hard drive. one stick of ocz fataly 2 gig is installed in dimm 1 even tried the other stick in the same slot. i have even taken out the battery and cleared the cmos. I don't understand what is happening. The board is brand new bought it from California about 4 days ago in a retail box. Any suggestions.

i have tried calling abit support but they seem to be nonexistant in the states.
i have tried two different processors a kuma 7750 and a brisbane 5000 and still nothing
maybe the bios isn't up to date? it says version 1 on the board.

ABit officially ceased to exist on Jan 1st 09

They are just running skeletal warranty staff ATM AFAIK

please post exact specific spec - manufacturer & model names etc.
The Kuma at least probably needs a BIOS update before it will work in that mobo but I would have expected the Brisbane to work.
Last version that I kow of is a beta that added Phenom II support http://nf7sextreme.lvcoyote.com/M722B_13.B03.zip

updated bios to 11 didnt see 13 on the main site so was wondering what was different in 13 and if alot of people were using it. and what was different. is the bios in beta testing or is it a final version. memory seemed to be the issue worked in slot 1 and 4 and it was ocz fatalty on 8500 the preocessor was kuma 7750 and it recoginzes it. going to install windows tom and the dvd drive will let you guys know how it goes.
