Booting "issues" with K8T Neo-FIS2R

Well hello everyone. First of all I want to say that my English isn't completely error-free and my problem might seem awkward because of my ways of expression.
I also want to say that i've read alot of threads and searched the forum for my problem.
For a couple of days ago I got all my parts for building my 64bit-system and I build her up. To my suprise it booted, with almost no errors. Although I could install Windows XP and use it completely, everytime I boot it (under the booting sequence) it says "Bios is not installed", although I can enter bios simply (like everyone else) just pushing the DEL-button.
But this isn't the only problem. When I enter PC Health Status it says that the cpu is running at whooping 62-65 degrees. When i have my hand around the cpu-cooler it doesn't even feel warm so I think it has something to do with my BIOS-version that i am running now (Yes, I've read that in much more threads)
Also I have problems using the Cool'n'Quiet technology. I have it supported in the BIOS and activated it although it will not work (maybe it has something to do with the bios?) With this i mean that i will not go underclocked (It's allways 2.2 GHz)
My final problem is that it sometimes takes the system 2 minutes to boot sometimes, it happend after i flashed the bios to 1.7 from 1.0
Under these circumstances I've used 1.0 AND 1.7 BIOS-versions.
I've never overclocked the computer either.
What could be wrong?
I'm using 3200+ 2.2GHz Athlon 64 cpu.
K8T Neo-FIS2R
Radeon 9800pro
Seagate 7200.7 200GB drive.
380W Antec PSU.

Yesterday my CnQ began to work fine. I've done the same as you:
1- Enable CnQ Bios option
2- Install the AMD athlon64 driver for XP
3- Set "minimal power savings" at windows xp energy options
I have installed the CoreCenter 1.6.8.0 (is the last version) utility, and I've set enable the CnQ in this application. You'll can see that the CPU velocity change "on demmand" and the CPU fan too.
Of course, I've the last VIA 4in1 drivers, 1.7 Bios ver. etc
 My temp & MHz values are:
~40ºC ~ 800 MHz idle
~50ºC ~ 2000 MHz playing or that kind of stuff
Note that the PC case is open, because the PC is under my table and there is no good ventilation.

    how do you do this???
    and no, i don't doubt MSI, i've had 3 MSI boards, this will be my 4th
    I use corecenter its as easy as that. :D
    you mean dynamic overclocking?
    who does use dynamic overclocking?
    and is corecentre just like fuzzy logic?

  • 6600GT not working with K8T neo-FIS2R

    I recently returned a K8T NEO-FIS2R MB for repair. The problem was that the PS/2 and USB ports were broken. However the MB has been returned and the PS/2 and USB ports work fine. I posted about this several months ago.
    Now the AGP port seems to be broken (not the actual slot). I have tried a 6800 Ultra and a 6600 GT (AGP version) GFX card in this slot. Both cards fail at the driver installation point. I have tried driver versions 66.93, 67.02 and 67.03. I also tried 3 versions of the via drivers 451, 453 and 455. Even tried XP with SP1 and SP2. The PC will sometimes BSOD, reset, won't boot into windows. The drivers sometimes install then other times they won't, etc. The problems only seem to be with the drivers for the GFX cards.
    The 6600 GT works as I have tried it in another MB without any problems.
    I know the memory works fine as I used memtest86+ for a couple of hours on the default settings without any errors and it works in another PC.
    The spec of the PC is:
    XP pro
    K8T NEO-FIS2R MB
    512MB corsair XMS at 2.5-3-7-3
    XFX 6600GT
    40gig HDD
    FDD
    Plextor CD writer
    DVD Rom
    PSU is a Q-tec 550W
    I know Q-tec PSUs are not up to much from what I have read elsewhere in this forum, but I have had it running in a similar system with the 6800 Ultra installed without any trouble (even with the above MB before it went faulty). I have also tried a 400W PSU, that came with the case. The Voltages on the 12V line are between 12.00 and 12.03 when using the Q-tec PSU.
    Has any body else had these problems with the 6600GT in the mentioned MB.
    Also, how can I check the serial number on the MB with the label on the box, as this MB that was returned to me looks to “clean” to be the one I sent away for repair.
    Thanks for any help

    Hey, I'm glad to see a post on the new Gforce 6600GT AGP card.  I just recently put together a brand new system (see my sig for specs).  System runs great.  The only thing I wanted to do was replace the video card, and after a great deal of anxiety I decided the Geforce 6600GT AGP was the best bang for the buck.
    Well I got home, installed the card and never get passed the bios screen.  (shows your processor, memory, memory siz), the screen u hit DEL to go into the bios.  
    The system doens't lock up, NUM LOCK can still be turned on and off, and CAPS can be turned of and on... but thats it.  Just sits on that screen.  I can't go into the bios either.
    what settings do I need to do prior to isntalling this card to get it to work.  
    Let me know if you all need anymore details to help me out.
    oh, I did reset my frequency to 10x200 (which is what I think the 3000+ is supposed to be at).

  • Help! XP install problems with K8T Neo-FIS2R

    The other day I put together a new system for a friend.  I got the system to POST properly, the diagnostic lights on the D bracket are fine, and I can edit the BIOS, and the BIOS sees all the drives properly.  
    However, installing XP Pro has been impossible.  I set the system to boot first to the CD, then to the hard drive (from the BIOS).  After booting to the CD, I never see the message I am used to seeing ("Press any key to boot from CD...) when booting from the XP Pro install disk.  The system thinks about things for a long time with a blank screen, then later it finally begins to do the install.  Things appear normal at this point as in any other time I have installed XP Pro.  I reformat the hard drive to start clean and then the XP install files are copied over.  I get the standard message that the system will reboot and this is where things get flaky.  The system reboots, but I never get the message once again on whether or not to boot from the CD.  So after a while the system tries to install XP once again (it would repeat this process forever....trust me).  I've popped the CD out right after the system reboots so it will try to go to the hard drive.  I just get some kind of boot failure message and to insert the bootable media or whatever.  I've even gone into the BIOS right after the reboot to switch the BIOS loading to try and load the hard drive first.  This still doesn't give me the desired results.
    This is by far the weirdest thing I've ever experienced when doing an install.  I've installed XP Pro on at least 15-20 desktops/laptops of different configs and never ran into this before.
    The BIOS settings are stock.  I didn't see anything in there that was really needed tweaking or that hadn't "set itself".  I haven't messed with the SATA or RAID stuff since it's not really necessary in this situation.
    Here are the system specs:
    --Antec 430 True Power PSU
    --K8T Neo-FIS2R mobo
    --AMD 3000+ 64 bit CPU
    --40GB Maxtor HD (master on IDE1)
    --Lite-On DVD-ROM drive (slave on IDE1)
    --80GB Western Digital (8MB buffer) (master on IDE2)
    --Sony DRU510A DVD-RW (slave on IDE2)
    --(2) Kingmax 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 Model# MPXC22D-38  
    --ATI 9800 Pro
    --3.5 Floppy
    All the components except the mobo, CPU, and memory are from another AMD system that was running fine.  No problems with any of the HD's or the optical drives.  All new components were purchased from newegg.
    I thought that maybe I had a problem with the jumpering of the drives so I messed with those in about every possible combination.  I took IDE2 completely out of the system and just tried to get it running with the 40GB Maxtor and the Lite-On drive.  I tried about every master/slave/cable select combination but nothing was working.  In certain combinations the BIOS recognized everything as I intended.  I've pulled everything off that doesn't need to be connected.  Keyboard, monitor, and internal components are the only things connected.
    I don't consider myself to be a guru at this business, but I can get through most things with enough trial and error.  This really has me stumped.
    Any help is certainly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Heath

  • High frequency sound with K8T Neo-FIS2R

    Hello!
    I have the MSI k8t neo-fis2r mainboard with bios v 1.6 and sometimes it makes a horrible high frequency sound and I cant figure out why.
    My system are:
    amd 64 3000 cpu and
    Corsair Value S PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5
    My other components does not cause the sound (that I have found out by testing).
    I wonder if the ram causes the sound? Can you please help me. The sound is so bad that I cant use my computer. It only appers during heavy system load, and not in windows. It has nothing to do with my video card (because I have tried with several different cards). My bios settings are default values + cool and quit enabled. I have the core center installed so the progam controls the cpu fan.
    I really hope someone can help me.

    The sound does not come from the speaker and I dont think it comes fom the cpu fan either. I think it comes from the motherboard, ram or the cpu. When I dont use my mouse it is quit but when I clik it makes this sound. Can it be that I have to set all values in bios for ram etc. manually instead of automatic?
    When it comes to other electrical sources I have a TV standing 0.5 meter from the computer. Could thins cause the problem? I did not have the problem with my old motherboard which was a MSI K7T Turbo2.
    The sound usually appers when I am benchamarking my system. For example 3dmark 2004. Because of this I thougt there was a problem wiht my vga card but after a changed to a new one...the situation was just the same.

  • Registry/boot problem with K8T Neo mobo (solved)

    I got similar problem: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40752&sid=
    Though my error message is: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
    I did NOT have this problem before i enabled the Realtek gigabit ethernet controller in BIOS.. But now when it is enabled everything runs/installs/reboots fine... until i shut down and when i turn power on next day i get that error message.
    So: when Realtek 8169/8110 gigabit ethernet NIC is enabled in BIOS, necessary drivers installed and system shut down, registry get corrupted while shutting down.
    I had AMI BIOS 1.1 when got this first time (after enabling realtek), flashing to 1.2 didn't help.
    I also tried newest realtek 8169/8110 drivers (5.611.1231.2003) instead of original (5.606.811.2003)(they're still in msi neo-fis2r page i see) but it didn't help either.
    So, any suggestions? i believe the integrated realtek causes the problem because it didn't occur before i enabled it from bios->integrated stuff...  or is there any other possible reason?
    oh, msinfo32 says that radeon 9800XT, IEEE1394 controller (firewire in audigy2) and realtek controller share the same IRQ 16.. i removed firewire controller but it didn't help.. could radeon and realtek sharing the same IRQ be the problem?

    Didn't try the external yet, i'll still try something with this.
    :: Do you have a home network setup, or connect straight to modem?
    straight to modem.
    i doubt it is the audigy, it worked before... and i've disabled everything i don't need like onboard audio, onboard 1394.. (never installed 'em)
    i noticed one thing: all people with similar problems are running win2000 SP4, you run XP so it's ok.
    MS knowledge base says "If one or two registry hives consistently become corrupted for no reason, the problem probably occurs at shutdown and is not discovered until you try to load the registry hive at the next restart. In this scenario, the registry hive is written to disk when you shut down the computer, and this process may stop the computer or a component in the computer before the writing is completed." http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822705
    so something (realtek?) is writing to the registry while i shut down the pc.
    i'm gonna disable realtek before shutdown & see if it boots without errors... if it does, i'll just have to disable it *always* before shutdown.... sounds like driver error for me?

  • Slow Booting Time On K8t Neo Fis2r

    could someone help me with this please, at the third screen with:
    no device
    no device
    it hangs for 5 minutes before it continues to boot.
    what could be the problem?

    sounds to me like the Via SATA controller looking for drives but finding none.....do you have your drives connected to the Promise controller???? if so you will be able to disable the Via SATA controller in the bios settings which should eliminate this problem :P

  • No POST, no beep with K8T Neo FIS2R

    After buying all of the necessary parts, I assembled them, and was ready to boot up and install XP.  The first time turned the power on, the floppy cable was in backwards and the system shut down.  So I fixed the cable, and the system booted again.  I got into the BIOS, and the system shut down again.  Looking at the D-Bracket and Power LED, I thought that this was the CPU or power supply.  At the time I was using a generic 425W PSU with only 12a on the 12V rail.  After installing a new PSU and Processor, the problem still persists.  I am getting rather frustrated with this and any help would be much appreciated.  My sig describes exactly what I have hooked up right now.  All four D-Bracket LEDs are Red and the Power LED is flashing every 2 seconds.

    Hi
    If your cutting out. with the power led flashing, thats the power protection mode, reset remove power cable for 5 secs and replace. However, it only really triggers when the CPU is overheated, or shorting.
    Check you have not a bent CPU pin, then just a little paste and make sure its tight fitting to Heatsink
    Other known causes, an extra pillar fitted to backplate shorting mobo, bent drive connector pins,  USB devices, check that 4 pin square and 20 pin Mobo connectors are in fully and that no pins are discoloured.  Short from spare molex, or fingers on backplate touching inside back connectors.  CMOS jumper on wrong pins.  Faulty PSU. Faulty Disk Drive or 4 pin floppy connector on wrong pins, Ram in wrong way round  (has been done), dirt or debris on mobo, or in AGP slot or RAM dimms
    Good luck

  • Boot Question - MSI K8T Neo FIS2R

    I have the above board and installed it yesterday with a saucy Athlon 64 3200+ and Radeon 9800 Pro card, 60Gb (Pata IDE HDD) and everything is running perfectly in windows XP Pro with great performance in 3dmark tests.
    The only question is with the boot up.  After the MSI logo I just get a blank screen before the Windows XP logo appears for OS boot up.
    I'm used to seeing the Award Bios logo and my Processor with Memtest results etc on the screen before the OS bootup.  I've disabled SATA and the Realtek LAN in the bios which were showing up with "Bios not installed" and still there is no Award bios screen.
    I'm not the most gifted when it comes to bios configs and would appreciate any help you may have.
    All the best
    Lux

    Awesome, thanks for the help guys.  
    A simple solution to a simple problem.   Many thanks and it's good to join the MSI community.
    Cheers

  • Boot issue: K8T NEO FIS2R

    Hello,
    I am having a boot problem.  I have the K8T NEO FIS2R, 512 meg ddr400 in the middle slot, an ati radeon 9800 pro, and and 3000+ cpu.  Everything was working fine last night, i was playing hl2 and all was well in my world.
    So this morning i remove a disfunctional cd device and replace it with another and now the system won't boot past the msi/core cell screen.  I did update the bios with the msi live update utility but I am 98% sure i rebooted the system successfully since i did that.  My computer is really new (2 days old.)
    Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this?  What causes the thing to not boot past the initail screen?  Could the bios be wasted maybe?  I already cleared the cmos.  Thanks for any help, I am having hl2 withdrawals.  I hope I don't have to return the mb.    
    thanks,
    freakmachine

    Hi
    If the CD caused the prob check no pins are bent, and that its jumper is set correctly, if its a master, put it on end connector of cable, red strip near power connector. Also change the cable for CD, maybe it is the cable not the drive.  Reset boot sequence, if you changed a drive it will need reset.. Did you disable the Boot sector virus protection before flashing the bios.
    Cheers

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r odd post issues

    well, i went over to a friends house, pulled out his ram..put in in my computer..it posted and boot to windows..perfectly..
    so then i go into the bios and up the voltage..so that i can put my old ram back in..it stopped responding when i updated the bios becuase it set the voltage back down to default..so..
    i put my ram back in once the voltage is set to 2.75 v and it booted a few times perfectly..i unhooked everything and came home..well
    now i try to boot the pc and once again it will not boot? is it possible that the cmos got cleared when i unplugged the pc???
    i know my ram isnt bad..i ran it on a friends system while playing games for hours..this motherboard is driving me insane..someone really dropped the ball when they made these..so many issues with having to fool around with voltages etc..cant even get the damn system to post if the voltage isnt up and even then sometimes it seems to not want to ..its crazy..
    i know none of my components are NOT broken because ive stresssed them all fully in other peoples computers..
    if anyone has any clue as to how i can get this thing to post to get back in the bios plz reply..im at wits end
    my system specs are
    athlon 64 3000+
    512mb mushkin special 2-2-2 ram (i will change the timings to the recommended slightly delayed timings but i have to actually get into the bios to make this possible)
    msi k8t neo fis2r bios 1.4

    Southmike is sooooooooo right on that one. I see a lot of folks running stuff on other computers with + results and then nothing on the Athlon64 - equipped systems. Well, I think it's O.K. to a certain point, at least to find out if an item is not defunct. But, most of the problems are RAM and PSU related. After that, I believe the BIOS is the biggest issue. And I think some of our forum readers don't actually understand the settings they mess with. I for one, do not fully understand a few of them myself! That is why it's important to make changes in BIOS one at a time.....if you are not as experienced as a lot of folks here at the forum are.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R Old Problem, New Issue

    I made my system back in 2003 using a K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard and a Barracuda 7200 SATA 160GB drive (ST3160023AS). If you don't remember, back then motherboards that supported SATA drives for main drives, sometimes needed extra drivers in order for the windows installation process to work. At first this threw me, but since then I have reformatted my drive a few times using the same disk with no issues.
    5 years of file sharing can do a number on your harddrives, and it seems my Barracuda has finally died. It came time to replace my drive with a Western Digital Caviar 320GB drive SE16 (WD3200AAKS). I did not predict there would be any issue with replacing my SATA drive. I have another 500GB drive connected to my system used for only storage and the computer recognized it at once.
    So I formatted my WD HD, to NTFS and made it active. Then I installed it in my computer disconnecting my other 500GB drive. I ran windows installation with my Windows CD (which I have used many times and I keep it in pristine condition).
    I found that after I hit F6, and it gave me a selection of SATA drivers to use (used xp), it did not not see that drive was there when asking which drive to format (I repeated this many times).  I set about making a new SATA boot disk thinking that my pre-used one had gone bad.
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=565
    VIA VT8237(R) SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)
    I followed the disk directions having already done it before. When I tried to install with my new drivers, I got this error.
    "File\I386\NT5\viamraid.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 2108 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
    Now i KNOW my windows instillation CD is good, but just in case I used another windows CD and got the same error.
    The only idea I can come up with is that I upgraded the bios to much and now it is having issues. My bios version is:
    AMIBIOS A6702VMS V2.2 030405
    SATA378 TX2plus(tm) Bios Version 1.00.103026
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try? I have done all the easy stuff I could think off like try different cables, and plug in my SATA to the second sata port and not the first. I have run out of ideas.
    The only list thing I could try was connecting my sata drive to the computer using a SATA to USB adapter, and finding the partition in windows through that way. For some weird reason windows will see USBs in the computer but not installed Sata drives. I am thinking I will install windows using the USB device and then try plugging in the drive directly. I have no idea if it will work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I tried your two versions of your drivers, "VIA PIDE&SATA RAID.rar" "Promise 20378 S-ATA RAID.rar" neither of them worked well (I selected the "VIA RAID Controller(Windows XP"). I received a slightly different version of the last error "File\I386\NT5\viamraid.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 2108 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
    The (4096) was a different number.
    I had used 4 different (yet old) disks, trying to get it to work. None of them did so until i tried it once more. This last time worked, it saw and used the drivers. I was able to get into the disk selection screen, and set to format the disk. As it started formatting (Quick), windows said that there was something wrong with the "Disk or CD". It then asked for me to install the SATA combo drivers. I let it detect the drivers I was using, and it kept saying something was wrong. I tried it 3 more times, and the last time it held and copied the files from the CD, to start windows.
    It is obvious to me that I have either a bad disk, CD, Disk drive, or CD drive. This is quite possiblly my last format before I make my new computer. Thank you very much for your help. I would have had to start my voodoo magic tricks to get it to work.
    Crappy floppy cause that
    Happend to me many times as well, when you receive the error take out diskette and re-insert it, then load drivers again until works.
    Of course simple solution is just replace the floppy drive to avoid "voodoo magic tricks"
    Or best solution do a slipstream XP installation and integrate the drivers which you need in XP installation.
    >>> Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Create Bootable CD<<<
    >>> Slipstreamed Windows XP CD Using SP2<<<
    "Thank you very much for your help. I would have had to start my voodoo magic tricks to get it to work."
    You are done well

  • Boot and OS install issues with K8T Neo2 F

    Can anybody shed light on my difficulties?
    Assembled a new computer yesterday.  First power-on produced nothing except 3 (2,3,4) red leds on d-bracket.  After reading several postings, tried the following:
    Swapped around memory modules;
    Did repeated JBAT1 data clears (NB if you happen to get a board with the V1.0 user guide, note that the JBAT1 diagram appears upside down - pin one is closest to the SATA slots (page 2 - 24).  The MSI downloadable user guide (V1.2) has that error corrected (page 2-25)
    The only memory config that doesn’t produce three red leds is with one 512 stick installed in channel 3 (green).
    Can now get to the point where Windows XP boots to the point where install is about to start, and then advises me that it can’t find a hard disk!
    Have dis/reconnected the sata cable (using different cables) and checked the bios setup but can find nothing strange except that setup refers to the hard disk as BBS 0 (RAID) ST3120827AS - the reference to “RAID” worries me.

    Paul, there have been people here that have had to strip their  system down to the bare minimum hardware to get windows to complete the install, so try that. I had trouble completing my windows install as long as I was trying to install the RAID drivers at F6. So I ignored the prompt at F6 and windows installed fine. Then I installed my RAID drivers afterward.
    These things are extremely sensitive when it comes to memory. I had the same problem you are having. Mine was cured by a BIOS upgrade to ver. 3.3. The simplest way to do it is to use "Live Watch". It will locate BIOS ver 3.3 for you, and download it to a floppy along with the flash program, and make it bootable all in one easy step. Then all you have to do is boot from the floppy you just made, and follow the instructions. Very simple.
    I've read all these stickies and posts now going way back, and IMHO anyone who wants to use RAM thats not on the list should do so at their own risk. Interestingly enough, the recommended list from MSI is not the same as the list from AMD. And the memory manufacturers have their own lists of RAM that they say will work with this board. I'm using 2x 512 sticks of GEIL from the MSI recommended list.
    Check out these links to see what I mean. By the way, if you haven't noticed, most of the older posts about memory problems are with respect to the K8T Neo FIS2R which is a socket 754 single channel board, so although they are similar, they're not the same. My point is just because his K8TNeo FIS2R works fine with brand "X" RAM doesn't mean your K8T NEO2 FIR will.

  • MY K8T Neo-FIS2R with AMD 64 3000+ auto shuts down

    I have run this system for several months with core centre all
    arms going off when playing graphic intensive games (Call of duty, Counter strike etc).
    I have added system fans to cool the machine sown, and this seemed to work ok until three days ago when the alarm was followed by a system shut down!
    I can see no obvious problem displayed in core centre, but suspect that the alarm is CPU fan speed related - I am running the AMD supplied Heat sink& Fan assembly.
    Anyone have any ideas why this problem has suddenly got worse?

    Is this a BIOS/Core Centre issue or CPU fan or maybe a PSu shortfall since the problem only manifests itself when CPU is under high loads?

    Hi mcihael ,
    Thanks for the tip about Fanspeed.  I have seen it around but never thought i had a need of until now.
    I must admit that having all of these extra applications supplied with the motherboard can get a bit confusing - the only real use that Core Center has been to me was the alarm going off letting me know that something serious was wrong!
    What's your opinion on case fans?    Should they be EXTRACT, INTAKE or a mixture? Most people i read about say exhaust fans are best to take away the hot air, while others claim intake fans help keep a flow of air around the CPU cooler.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R No boot - Early Chipset Initialization LED

    Went from a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR with XP 2500+ O/C'd to 3200+ to an MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R board with a retail Athlon 64 3200+ and a Thermaltake Silent Boost Heatsink/Fan combo.
    RAM = 2 x 512MB Apacer PC2700 (MSI approved).
    Video= ATI 9800 Pro AIW
    Antec Sonata case with 380Watt True Power +12V-18A, +5V-35A, 3.3V-28A
    Seagate 160GB SATA 7200.7 drive.
    On boot, system hangs at #1 red LED indicating Early Chipset Initialization.
    Video is blank, all switches work, all drives spin up, no beep codes, just dead.
    Tried just CPU, Fan/Heatsink, Video and still same.
    Without any RAM, system beep codes for RAM.
    Tried RAM in slots 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and just one by itself.  Never a change to the DBracket light.
    Cleared BIOS and retried.  Nothing.  No video at all.
    What does that "Early Chipset Initialization" mean anyway?  I guess the board is bad.  This is it's first boot attempt.

    Well, I think I know what the problem is, aside from the PSU... I tried my brother-in-laws 550 PSU that pushes 24A on the +12V and it did not budge.  I think it is the board.  I did an RMA with Newegg and will be sending it in for a replacement.
    Thanks for the advice on the PSU's... I will be heading back to Newegg to get one.
    As an aside, I did get a new PSU since my last post.  It was a Maddog Multimedia 550 that is made by Thermaltake.  The voltage is not listed on the outside of the box, so, once I opened it, I noticed a couple things.  One, it is a 480 not a 550, and two, the +12V is a paltry - abismal - 18A!  This was CompUSA's best power supply and cost $140 after taxes! (I wanted one now, not in the few days it takes Newegg to get me one).  Needless to say, it is going back.  Since the numbers were not on the outside of the box, they are taking it back without a restock fee.
    I will quell my desire for now now now and wait until a good one from Newegg arrives.  I will let you know of my results!
    ps -  I am toying with the idea of the PC Power one... !
