Did you eventually get it to work?? If you did how?? I had the same problem!! Then I switched to another power supply it works fine for few days then it doesn't work anymore. What was your resolution?

Sorry..but no.. I tried 2 diff Power supplies and only go to the Windows screen 1 time. It locked up then nothing... It looks like The CPU got Fried (I took it out and saw a burny mark on the back of the chip..)
Not sure what may have caused this...But now I have to eat the $90..they say it's PHYSICAL damage to the CPU..and thats not covered by Warranty... I think it's the MB fault tho..se we are still going round and round about this with the vendor (PCCOST.COM)

i'll take a wild guess and say that it was caused by not having a heatsink on the thing. :rolleyes:
