The D bracket is an external bracket that hooks up to the motherboard
for the extra USB ports. If it did not come with it, it does not
have it. It might have a network LED (by the RJ-45 Ethernet
connector) On most motherboards, unless you have a POST card that you
can plug in, it is diagnosis by guess.
You have checked virtually everything you can.
Here is an off the wall suggestion. Mostly motherboards flake out
not processors.
Go to www.geeks.com and check out their selection of Socket 939
motherboards. I am not wild about Foxconn and have never heard of
Winfast, but Asus is good. But depending on how much you want to
spend get one of those and see if the processor works. I bet it does.
Here is one final suggestion.
Clear the CMOS and see if you can get into the BIOS that
way. Sometimes I have done this as a last resort, but if the board
is fried it will not work.

I'm having trouble finding any of the LEDs. There are no lights that
come on anywhere on the motherboard. The MSI troubleshooter refers to
a "D-Bracket". Is that something that is obvious when you look at the
motherboard?
