Problem, possibly memory related?

Oh, if only I had remembered this earlier.

Now that you've mentioned the potential graphics card compatibility problem I remember having almost exactly the same problems just about 2½ years ago.

I spent about 2 weeks taking motherboards back to my supplier, and eventually got a different mobo. About a week later they announced an incompatibility between the mobo and the graphics card. I think that particular card was an 8500, but the incompatibility they announced was different. I think just about any Radeon card caused problems with that mobo, so you may find the same thing.

Clocker and Lynx's stories have got me convinced it's the graphics card, We've just ordered a Inno3D GF2 MX400 64mb to replace the 7000 AGP, it will work :)

I admire your optimism.

Hope it is warrented.

didn't work :)

Bummer, dude.

What now?

i'm going to scoop out Scully's insides and use them :sadwalk:

It was the graphics card(s), I had gotten two broken cards in a row :)

:lol: Shit luck.

So everything is finally up and running? :)

Yeah all original parts plus the new card are up and running, i had to take it into a shop to find this out, came to £20 which I suppose isn't too bad compared to most places :ermm: bought a card of them for £40 too, so it's all sorted :01:

SOmetimes that is easier, since they have extra parts to test with. ;)
