Well, I just recieved my Orb1+ and XP 1700+ in the mail for my ECS K7S5A. The other day I put it all together and it ran for about 3 minutes and then the fan on the orb died so I had to get it replaced. Today I put in a new 400w power supply and kept everything the same but now it starts up, but I only get a black screen. What can I do to fix this, or how can I find out what's dead. The power supply isn't really a factor because I have two and they both show the same thing. It doesn't seem that the CPU is dead because while it idles when I turn it on, the CPU does heat up but im not sure what else could be wrong. Theres only two jumpers and those won't affect this. Any help appreciated.

Dead CPU/Motherboard?

U probably just need to clear your cmos.
All u need to do is unplug the power, set one of the jumpers to clear cmos (check the manual for which one) press the power button, then change back the jumper, plus power back in, then power up.
That should work.

I've tried clearing CMOS before but not that way. I've changed batteries and everything and nothing works. I don't think these things have a factory warrenty either so I guess im screwed over $60. Is there any way to check if its the CPU or motherboard thats broken? If it is?
