    Parts can be faulty. What can I say, sometimes it happens.

    Afraid not, I'm english.
    However, before you send back the board, TRY A DIFFERENT POWER SUPPLY.

    I'm sure there's legislation about that. Make a fuss on the phone, you should get something done... :)

    If not, you could always sell it on ebay or craigslist.

    alright after weeks of fidgeting and hellraising i still have no video response. However, when powering on the system i do get one beep from the motherboard and only one led powers on. and my dvd drive is responding.

    Sounds like the PC is booting then, but no video signal. Could be a faulty graphics card then.

    I didn't realise your board had integrated video. If it does, remove the graphics card, go into the BIOS and set the preferred video output to PCI express, then stick the card back in (not while the PC's on of course!)

    You sure it's missing a file? Are you getting a bluescreen and reboot during the xp loading screen? That is a result of changing to a new chipset, the only solution is to reinstall windows completely.

    Fair enough, stick the windows CD in and run the recovery console.

    can i access my bios without an os installed so, how? when the pc boots up to the xfx motherboard screen my options ate tab to show screen or delete to setup. and both options lead me to that windows needs repaired crap and i cannot do anything from there however, when booting that windows on another pc it loaded fine with no problems at all besides a few missing drivers.

    Delete will take you to the BIOS, irrespective of what's happened to windows. if it doesn't, the keyboard shortcut isn't working, so perhaps your keyboard isn't recognised in the BIOS. Try using an old PS/2 one temporarily.

    it runs!! had it up and running for a few days now and i have a serious cooling issue. for some odd reason my system is idling at around 98 degrees. That's bad. and on top of that my video card still is not being recognized and when its plugged in the onboard video isnt even recognized and i get no video response whatsoever. any suggestions?
