Sean, thanks for the tips. I believe it is a dead board, I swapped cpu's and then yanked the mobo and put in the second one. Mushkin is sending me a new MOBO today. Now i got the second mobo going and here are my results so far: bios finds the video card ok checks the memory ok then things start to get shakey... I get a warning that sez : CPU is unworkable or has been changed. Please recheck - CPU SOFT MENU at this point i can go into bios and into CPU SOFT MENU and i see : CPU Operating Speed : 233(66) so i changed that to 300(66) restarted it finds the video card and checks memory then instead of flashing a warning The energystar icon and the text at the bottom of the screen disappear. my keyboard is dead ... the caplock light won't come on. Whats up with this? I restart and set the cpu back to 233(66) and then i get the same warning message again upon reboot. hehe box building 101, I am off to a shakey start. funk
