no beeps.

from what i've read that indicates the motherboards fried.

i'm gonna try my graphics card in my brothers pc later, and his in mine.. if it is.. which board do you recomend? (cheap, fast, good overclocker, amd... needs firewire and onboard sound, SATA an advantage)

leadtek, the motherboard makers replied with the really helpful email (and this is litterally what they said. "i think your bios is corrupt, send back to supplier and get fixed".

i don't have time to try things out, so i've bought a new abit NF7-S motherboard as they're meant to be dead good.

i remember you saying there was some place you could send your bios off to for a re-flashing. i might as well give that a go and sell the old board if it was a bios problem... try and re-coup some cash.

we are both working lots and lots at the moment (sarah is full time) and i've got a whopping 6 shiftrs a week for the next few :/

but i'll ask her and see if we can sort a time out. it's unlikely though.
