    Thanks a lot! I guess there are some corners that can't be cut when it comes to buying parts.

    I took the MB out, and set the JP1 back to normal like you said, still no luck. Could it be a bad MB?

    I did notice that, but I don't know what clear CMOS meant. after I switch the JP1 to normal, it wont even start up..... Yes I did set the jumper for CPU frequency to 166MHz

    Unplugged HD, DVD, and Floppy, still does the same thing.

    Replaced the PSU w/ the 300W that came with the case, but still no luck. I did take the heatsink off to check the orientation, but the grease is not really melted yet.

    Thermal grease? Where can I get that? Is that the piece of grey wax-like thing on the bottom of the CPU fan? I did set the HD to single/master, and the DVD-ROM to slave. I'll try to use the PSU that came with the case and see what happens. Thanks.
