IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!! At 5:15 this morning the new system roared to life!!!

I tested the CPU, memory, and the GeForce 9600GT Superclocked video card in a friend's computer, it all tested fine. I decided on replacing the PSU with a Kingwin MACH 1 ABT-800MA1S 800W, MUCH BETTER POWER SUPPLY!! I also ...

The RAM did not work, didn't you see that post? Hey, I found this thread last night:

I need those RAM details. I am especially wanting the RAM voltage. Verify that you get no beeps when you power up...

Let me reread you original post and see what else I can find. BRB ...

When troubleshooting, I use methodology, we have touched on the electric outlet or power source itself, and the quality/required power supply, continuing with the original mobo;

Since it never actually posted, I am fore going thermal problems...

Gotta take off for the day....in a rush so forgive me if I missed reading that you tried this....but did you try yanking the CMOS battery for at least several minutes? Unplugged..that'll do a thorough reset of the CMOS.

I did try that on the first motherboard, but I just used the jumper on this ...

Thanks for the help, let me know if you think of anything else, all your suggestions are good and valid!
