That's interesting. It didn't occur to me to test the battery, since the board is new. Now it's packed up for RMA ($11 shipping for a $60 part!).
With these LGA775 sockets you really don't have any choice of how the cpu sits. It's either in the notches or it isn't. How the heck would I even know if it's a bad cpu and not the mobo (in this case I tried an old one, but for future reference)? What jumper could be in a position to not cause a POST? There's a cmos reset jumper, but I checked that and it's in the normal position. I didn't think there _were_ any others. http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Motherboards/DG31PR/DG31PR-overview.htm On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 1:29 PM, Ed Y<inbox1...@verizon.net> wrote: > Take a look at your mobo manual.
