Make sure that you open it up and reseat all the components. That's usually my first step in this case.

I'd also try resetting the bios by shorting the proper jumper on the motherboard (should be in the mobo's manual).

Oh, and Welcome! You should go and introduce yourself.

the motherboard you have is a steaming pile of S**T.

I should know... i have one. the issue you have will be taken care of by resetting the bios through the jumper.

if your os lives on a sata hard drive, and you have more then one sata hard drive, get used to resetting your bios to its defaults, and then setting the options again, if not it will keep whining about os not found..

and lastly... have ypu burned your self yet, by touching the northbridge cooler?

Thanks, i feel stupid because after i posted that i read the sticky... oh well, thanks. and on the note of the os not being found, i have a sata optical drive and sometimes that interferes with the os being found, i changed the boot priorities to the hard disk before the optical drive, but i don't have two hard drives yet. oh, and yes, only a minor first degree...
