Something still bothers me.
Did you say up in your post that you booted without the cpu.
And what happend when you did that ?

it didn't actually boot, that was a miswording, it turned on without making the terrible, terrible beeping sound =)

no one else have anything to add?
here are the things I've tried:
Both ram sticks, fully seated, in all 3 DIMM slots
Cleared CMOS
Unplugged all components except RAM and CPU from motherboard
took out the battery to completely reset
took out cpu and reseated

Im at a loss. SOMEONE MUST have expirienced this, or something similar before. Right now this thing is a 1700 dollar paperweight =(

I can only shoot in the dark right now:
- cpu & temp probe problem(apparently if the bios detects a problem with the temp mesuring process(of witch i no little to nothing) then it shuts down the sys).
- if you are the really unluky type, you have gotten all bad ram
- you are playing april fools with us and are mistaken because we are in december(highly unlikely, right!)

Hmm, could be a temp probe problem, hadn't thought of that. I know its not overheating, because the temp monitor that comes with my case is reading 23 degrees C

The only thing i can think of is that theres some jumpers/dip switches on the motherboard that r incorrectly set......

look in your Motherboard Booklet and match ALL the jumper/dip swtich settings to AUTO-DETECT and/or DEFAULT.......IF that doesnt work, than MANUALLY SET THEM......AKA Set all the jumpers to the specifications of yoru CPU, RAM etc....IF THAT DOESNT WORK..........exchange the Motherboard, becasue uve now gone through 2 different peices of ram, and if the CPU wasnt working, it wouldnt do ANYTHING AT ALL when u try to power it on.......and u say the Video card is ALL THE WAY IN right ??? well......try what i said, if it dont work.......exchange yoru motherboard.......
