I hate to be the bearer of potentially bad news, but in my experience if I get no signal on my monitor then it means a bad cpu or bad ram. Try reseating everything and give it a go again. Otherwise, do you have another stick of RAM that you know works or do you have another CPU that you know works that you can put in to test?

Damnit, i hope not...

It's a single stick of PC 3500... and a 2.4..

I'll reseat everything... $hit i hope nothing is bad.

Nelson, i switched out the ram with a stick of PC 2100... The BH7 supports it..

NO GOOD.

I guess i will take the heatsink fan off, reseat the CPU, ( which is only one way ) and try again... GOD DAMN IT!

:(

Good news, i got it working reseated everything and what not...

I hit delete to enter the BIOS and it gives me a flashing cursor?

What could it be now?

Any help is great.
