    i didnt read the whole thing so excuse me if a i repeat a qestion , but did u reinstall windows? cuase a friend had somthing of a problem a little similiar, so i told him to reinstall windows and evrything went ok , try it , oh and also if tere were cable that came with the Mobo hook them up instead of r old ones , kinda a stupid idea but it might work

    ..arriving a little late on this one. Sounds like DDP got you hooked up with the 20 pin and 4 pin from PSU to mobo. That's good and explains all your previous problems.

    Now, the agp - graphics processor must be compatible with your card; I read earlier about a 4x and 8x??

    Make sure they are compatible; Worse case, you can try a video PCI card if you are unsure. I never heard of Mercury or saw a make/model of your mobo or I would help look it up and see the mobo specs for the AGP.

    DDP, you still hanging in there??
