Just got back RMA'd processor and motherboard. Barebone install, outside of case. Still no POST, same thing, long spaced beeps, no screen. Tested all main components in other machine and works fine. Even switched psu's, everything. Is there a switch im supposed to flip to get this thing to work, gahh im so pissed at newegg and abit, even though its probably something im doing wrong!

Long beeps is usually video card error. Swap video cards and try that.
If a board beeps, the processor is likely to be good.

It sounds like the error exists between the chair and the keyboard in your situation, which quite honestly pisses me off. Now, I along with everybody that buys motherboards will be subsidizing your stupidity. The LEAST you could have done before RMAing it was to go through a troubleshooting process with a few different forums and see if your problem(s) could be resolved.
You have no right to be pissed at newegg or any other vendor unless they don't know how to pack a box for shipping. You have no right to be pissed at abit unless they didn't test the board properly before it left the factory (which they do). The only person you have to blame is yourself, and I hope newegg charges you a diagnostics fee for sending them back perfectly functional product (or user damanged product).
I sold hundreds of motherboards last year, and not A SINGLE ONE OF THEM was TRUELY DOA. Restated: I didn't RMA a single one out of hundreds of boards that I personally sold last year.

Geez, Schro, chill out. 
As for the RMA, well, that was silly. (Start threads like this BEFORE you RMAit makes the [H] a far more helpful place.
Anyway, to LostMatt: do you have another graphics card you could try in it? That's probably what your problem is, given the beep code. Also, what graphics card are you trying to install?

Cant even get a screen still. Swapped out with working memory and working video card, still no screen. Also swapped the PSU and still no go. Sending these components back again as I took it to a computer store just to confirm that the processor and motherboard were no good. I did some searching on Abit's forums and found some interesting posts made by BigEd. Bascially his PSU was frying all his parts..I thought this was the case until I put the PSU in another machine, flip the switch, everything is fine. This is just making me so upset, I can barely sleep at night, seriously.
