Help!

Long story, so here goes.

I lapped my E1200 last week, put it in, it posted good to go. Then I turned it off and buttoned my computer back up, and accidentally left the fan off . So I took it out, put it back in, and made sure the fan was plugged in and it posted, but gave me the BSOD. So I took it out, put it in again and no post. So I figured the CPU was toast. I put a customers E1200 in and went to Windows, so I figured it was the CPU. So I went ahead and ordered an E2160 and now (as well as before) it turned on for a second, rebooted, and nothing goes to the screen. It's almost a double-boot.

My setup:

E2160
Biostar 965PT
2X1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800

Help!
 
You can either try a different power supply, or rma the board. Biostar may charge you a handling fee. Newegg has an ecs 965 board for $25 with free shipping (open box with no accessories). It's a good alternative if you're not overclocking.
