Your BIOS may be affected by a fan RPM setting that is too low for a successful POST.
Okay about the 3 pin connecter for the cpu, like ive said:
Ive tried the 3 pin connectors for 2 heatsink stock ones that came with the 1.4ghz and the 2000+, it rotated so I know it is getting power and it is connected to the cpu so im thinking that that is not a problem.

I dont know where im gonna find a high psu, no local places sell them, so I'm thinking Id have to buy another one and wait in the mail but I dont know how long that will take, also I tried turning the computer on without the cpu installed, I get the errors of No Cpu installed and System failed CPU test alternating. I think I will call asus day after, but im basically busy all the time so I dont know when I'd have time to call them except sometime which would be completely off hours (like now

).
Where do you live? Any CompUSA's nearby? They often carry Antec TruePower 430's, that's what I use in my XP1700+ work system (with a 1000VA APC uninterruptible PSU to back it up).
I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, not the biggest city, only retail stores here that I can find computer stuff at are Best Buy, Office Max and staples, the only other places I know are local and I dont really know them, I know that one of my friends went to a local place to ask them to install a pci video card for them because he couldnt get it to work properly, and they charged him like a $100 (thats unbelievibly expensive) for it and it didnt work, they still charged him... thats our local customer service...
Closest place for a compusa is Des Moines (154 Miles), but thats like 2 hours in actual time both ways, I dunno, you think its worth it??? I'd have to take a road trip, on some weekday, i have like no time over for this kinda stuff, and returns would be a pain in the ass lol
