All those that said memory problems.... take a bow. My screwup was on the ECC vs. ECC/Reg memory. This Mobo's documentation claims 333 speed with standard memory and 400 with ECC. Well I got ECC/Reg instead of ECC. Last night I put in the borrowed chips - Micron (2 x 256MB) 333/2.5 Clean boot...

This thread has moved over to General Hardware.....

Okay, I will take some memory chips home and check if that is the problem. The switch will remove the 2 x 512MB /400/ ecc/reg memory and change it to 2 x 256MB / 333. I will let you know if that works.

Switching PS with this SFF box is not an option. It would have to be external, which would defeat the purpose of the SFF. I agree it is a low power supply, but even a 200W supply should boot a hard drive and an old PCI vid card! I think the problems might be beyond the PS. If all esle fails I...

Power supply for this SFF is an Enhance 200W. I questioned this myself as I have never built anything with a PS less than 300W. The Biostar people pointed out that due to the limited expansion on such a small system, that 200W would more than handle anything I put in it. They also pointed out...

Yes, I did connect both power supplies to the mobo. - no joy

I'm building my fourth system, the only difference with this build is that this mobo does not have onboard video. I usually start with just the cpu, drives, and memory, then load the drivers and OS utilizing the onboard sound/video, etc. When everything is tested out, I proceed to the video...
