arrgh. after getting the NIC problem fixed...now this. I was experiencing the boot problem - that is, the board never wanted to. Holding insert would always make it boot, but at default settings. from there you could get into bios, but then when you saved changes, it would only reboot maybe 1 out of five times. So I decided to use cmos reloaded. I backed up the bios settings I wanted and rebooted. nothing, like I thought. So I powered off and booted holding the "1" key, which is supposed to load the first saved profile. Now the board will not post. not with insert, not with unplugging, not with manually resetting cmos , not with popping the battery.
I swapped teh 2500 for the 2400. Ditto. That cpu worked fine when I took it out. I took out my radeon and put in a pci vid card. Still nothing. I tried the reset+esc trick, no go.
only thing i am left with is to leave the battery out all night and hope for the best.
Angry games said something like DFI would send you a bios chip before RMA'ing the board - I hope this is the case.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
