jumper reset Clear
Quote from Went Fishing:
This is connected to the SATA 3.0 6gig socket
The RAM is in slots closest to the CPU and is paired. Initially, it booted up, so I am assuming that this is ok. I'm suspecting that it may be something that I may have done in the BIOS, due to the fact that the machine started off fine after the build, which I'm assuming was due to everything being put in correctly. The problem only came about when I tried starting it up after than.
Unfortunately, they are all x16. I tried one card at a time with different VGA and DVI cords, but that did no good.
I never try to predict market direction, but I believe if you made those three changes in your BIOS on the initial start-up, resetting your CMOS will probably allow you to get back to square one and straighten things out.
I really do hope so
I SHOULD HAVE. I THINK IT WAS THE LACK OF CORONA THAT EVENTUALLY LED TO THE SCREW UP!!!
This is the manual for ASUS P8P67-M; very similar to the PRO:

Tiki, thanks for the diagrams. On one hand I'm a little disappointed, on the other hand I feel quite special using and understanding all this terminology and mixing in the thick and thin with you guys (the pros) and trying to figure this thing out.
Am I officially inaugurated to the ES Geek Army yet?
Are any of the onboard led's remaining lit ?

I am saddened by the news last night Steve Jobs resigned for health reasons. He is truly my idol. And that has been the case since he was 26!!!!! Imagining a geek could worth millions and millions at that age. I bought an Apple II+ in college. I loved it. But that was one and only Apple experience I had. Later on I refused to buy Apple computers because they closed out their systems (like "we have everything that you possibly need")... while I, being a geek myself, like to tinker with things. "Irreconcilable differences" is the reason for our separation. LOL
Back to your new ASUS board: one option for you is to call their tech support and get some hint from them. They may be able to give you a short cut.

Will be working on it a little later today; still holding positions, so don't want to get too distracted.
Sam,
Out of curiosity... ( so far sounds like you know what you are doing ) did you install the motherboard on the little peg risers ? They install on the case first, then the motherboard sits on them and gets screwed into them.
Sounds silly, but if the mb is mounted direct to the case all the solder points on the back of the board will become one.
edit: also make sure you check all the power to the motherboard and double check all power cables are connected. Probably so as it started already, but make sure and check the power supply to the mb and give a push on the connections to make sure they have good contact.
The best way to troubleshoot is to check the simple most obvious points, then work deeper into the problem.
Start with all connections, power switches/ buttons turned on, good contact at all points, run down each individual part of the computer to give an ok check.
