P4P800-E Deluxe - "System Fail CPU Test"

REV 1.02
BIOS 1007
350W PSU
ATI 9800 PRO AIW
2x512 MB PC3200
DVD-CDRW
DVD-R
Floppy
120GB SATA

I had a 2.6 in there for almost 2 years with no problems...
Bought a 3.2E - 1MB and swapped CPU's

First boot gave no video and the vocal "OverClock Failure" message
Put the 2.6 back in - checked BIOS to be set to auto... Put the 3.2 back
in...

Now I get no video and the voice says "System Fail CPU Test".
So I put the 2.6 back in and get the same results now.

I tried the clear CMOS trick with no change.

I thought the CPUs might have been toasted by the MB (or vice versa) so I
went down to my local computer store and the tech guy tried them both in a
new "Asrock" board (yeah I never heard of them either...) They both booted
fine (and of course he wnated to sell me the board too...) so I know the
CPUs are alive and kicking.

AAAUUUGGHHH - I am so unlucky with this stuff I could just scream.

Anyone have any ideas??? After this post I'm going to unplug all the excess
power stuff, but at one point I had 3 HD's, the 2 DVD's, a floppy and a zip
all working fine in there.

And then I am going to bed and will check for any answers in the morning...

How did you clear the CMOS; by just shortening the jumper, or did you
actually pull the battery out of motherboard and then shorted the
jumper pins?
I know it sounds silly but have you plugged in the +12V 4 pin cpu
power connector?
Try re flashing the bios from the floppy by using ALT+F2 when computer
boots up.
Inspect the ZIF socket for debris or damages. Make sure there's
nothing shorting. Inspect you motherboard in general for damages -
it happens pretty often when you remove bulky CPU heatsink etc.
