After all that you have done, you should probably look at the CPU. They do fail, although not often. Hal My reply. (Again, Kmail isn't giving me the ">" characters) Regarding the CPU, is there anything I can do other than to buy a new one? (I can't test it in my other AMD-based PC due to incompatible socket). The AMD Phenom II X2 is selling for $65 on Newegg now. It's probably more likely that I have one bad CPU than two bad mobos. I'd gamble another $65 if I could be convinced that a dead CPU would cause the symptoms I saw on the original mobo such as the dead LED 2- digit display that shows BIOS-POST-code and system temperature. It seems to me that the CPU fan should still spin even if the CPU is dead.
