sorry to hear your problems, but I think you might get more response in the hardware forum so ill move it for you with redirect.

I know its not much consolation, but I had 5 cases of dead Abit Nforce 2 boards. They were terrible. When I brought this up with an engineer in abit at the time, his answer was "the nvidia nforce2 chipset is terrible".
