I have confidence that if you re-wire it, check the CPU and memory are correctly connected, you will get results. Hopefully the ones you are after, thus please report back =================================== My reply: (Chris, my Kmail settings have all the items you specified) Joe, you pinpointed one problem. (Thanks much!) To properly mount my original mobo I had to install a brass standoff in the case. (The case has nine preformed standoffs. The original mobo had ten mounting holes). That standoff is not needed for the new mobo (which has nine mounting holes) and may have been causing a short. I removed the brass standoff and reinstalled the mobo in the case. Now when I power-up I get one beep (which I believe means successful POST). The keyboard LEDs do not blink (is blinking keyboard LEDs on boot universal, or only a feature of particular BIOSes?). I get nothing whatsoever on the screen. The graphics card is installed in a PCI-e x16 slot. This is what the mobo manual recommends. There is another slot labelled as PCI-e x16 running at x4. The PCI-e slots on the original mobo were labelled as all being capable of x16 and lower. Although I did not run the mobo outside of the case, I feel that the extra brass standoff was the only problem with the case. Any further thoughts?
