Check the connectors to the Front panel, all is correct. The mobo is Rev. 1.1. Swapped out ram, too, just to test. > Does it beep? NO. Would that suggest a dead mobo? The little speaker is attached but does not beep or anything...... The power supply is plugged into the mobo correctly. It's a new power supply and cables. > If so, is it the normal beep or a error code beep? If > error code, then check to see if it sheds light on the problem.

Might have a bad cable, so I'm going to replace them all one at a time and see if that makes any difference. The mobo is just not even trying to boot.

It was suppose to reset to factory defaults. . > The only other thing I can think of, does the BIOS version support that > CPU?

I'm gonna build up the second machine and see what happens.... This mobo appears to be borked, right out of the box. any other ideas? James
