story goes like this:
i got my 8rda (non +) friday, hooked it up, and it ran fine. then i benchmarked it a little over the weekend and yesterday decided to put the mobo through its paces to see what it could do. all went without a problem. only thing was that my crappy 300w psu was acting up at the high system oc.
i fire my pc up this morning (tuesday) and everything runs fine. since i had to go to town anyways, i picked up a sparkle 400w psu on the way back and hooked it up to my mainsystem instead of the crappy 300w psu i was originally using. i shut the system down, went to work out, played 45mins of basketball, and come back to find that my pc wont boot anymore.
at this discovery, i went throught he regular trouble shooting stage*: swap components, uninstall things, etc. but with no luck. i even tried the 300w psu again and the system still doesn't boot.
after about three hours of messing around with the system i've got the mobo to start the boot process but it always halts on a "AA" error. the boot led sequence goes like this "C1 --> AA" and that's it. nothing more, nothing less.
i looked up what "AA" means but apparently nobody has ever experienced it. so, if you have any information on how to solve this problem, please post. it may just be a small mistake i'm making (help yourself by halping me).
system specs:

epox 8rda ------------------------> epox 8rda
2100+ ----------------------------> 2.53 ghz/ 2.05v
256mb pc2700 --------------------> 230fsb 2.5/3/3/5

* swapped every single component with ones in my backup system and all ran fine except the 8rda. went through the regular unplug mobo power connector, hold power button for 10s, take out battery for 5s, clear cmos via jumper for 5s, replug everything, and try again.
