Good to hear Raptor! I started wondering about the MB. I'm not sure if you got it from NewEgg but I sometimes think they send out returned items. When I built my Daughter's computer I had many of the same issues. When I got the original MB it had a part missing. Nothing I didn't already have so I didn't worry about. Just could never get that thing to work. Tried different Power supplies and connecting and reconnecting cables and so on. When I finally said this is just not going to work. I told them it was bad and what I had done to try to solve the problem. They paid for the return postage almost without question. When I got the new MB I had it up and running in a couple of hours.
