Just building media pc, booted up for the first time blank screen.Because this was my first build went through everything contacted Abit they forwarded procedure and it pointed to mobo sent it back came back ok 🙁 eventually traced to memory crucial 2gbkitddr2 pc2-5300 even though this is supposed to be compatible does any body no of a 2gb memory that will work with my mobo.

You have the wrong motherboard. That is a socket 478 motherboard. You need a socket 775 motherboard.
You might want to buy Gigabyte GA-P35... model of your choice, which is very popular here.

That CPU is a mobile socket 479. You should be getting a socket 775 processor.
You also need a video card, unless your motherboard of choice has integrated video.

This is a socket 775 mobo and this system was build by pc custom build mag may issue, all i have done that is different was the memory

The T2400 is supported in the IL90MV.
