Ok, here is the problem. I just got the board, the memory, and the CPU a couple of days ago. I put them all together and they worked fine. I then tried my luck at overclocking, I let it run at 1840 MHZ (115 FSB 1.60V) over night to help burn it in. I tried at 2000MHZ and 2133MHZ but it was unstable even with 1.70V. I just figured that it needed to be burned in some before OCing it more. The next day I tried it at different speeds and different voltages until it just stopped booting. When I turn it on, everything gets the power (fans, hard-drive, and cdroms) but the screen just stays blank. I figured that it just was trying overclock unsuccessfully so I set the jumper and dip switches so it would use the default speed (16 multiplier at 100FSB). This didn't solve anything. I thought that maybe it might be the video card so I replaced it with my Geforce 2 card that know still works. No luck. I then replaced the Memory with my old crucial pc2100 DDR memroy. Still no luck. I then decided to take all of my PCI cards out, disable USB 2.0, disconnect all of the unneeded cables and devices (IDE, USB, uneeded fans, etc) and connect just the monitor and a ps2 keyboard. Still no luck. I took off my HS and took my processor and checked for any defects such as cracks, burn marks, etc (you never know). Satisfied that it looked good I put it back in and put the heatsink back on it. It still doesn't work. I get no beeps or messages, Just a blank screen. Twice I got a blinking cursor. I tried reseting the CMOS several times (taking the battery out and unplugging the system). I'm all out of ideas. Can someone please help. Do you think it's the processor, CPU, something else. I couldn't test the motherboard with another P4 because I don't own another one or know someone else that has a Socket 478 one. Thanks in advance for any help.
