Thanks QuickFast!
Frustrating last night...tried everything I could think of and still no luck. The board gets to A0 and/or AE so it looks like it actually is booting but no matter which pci-e slot and/or graphic cards I tried, still can't get the monitor to come on. Thinking perhaps the bios is defaulting to the integrated video but since the cpu doesn't have integrated graphics (and the mobo doesn't have on-board video), there's no way I can see to get into the bios to change that setting.
Does anyone know how to force the bios to look to the pci-e instead of integrated video?
Am honestly thinking of pulling everything apart, checking the socket for any possibly bent pins, removing the eraser and just rma the thing (it's still brand new).
Hmmm...as an aside...what's the best way to remove the eraser marks from the pcb?
Have a feeling that I'm putting this setup on hold for now. Hopefully will get some buddies over this weekend to help me get the cascade into the basement and will start going after 775's.
Ah well...to be continued I guess.
So...if anyone knows how I can force the board to look to the pci-e and/or how to remove the eraser marks it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks!
