Saw the same issues as with the PCIe video card :( Ordered the new MB, RAM, CPU (listed above), arrived yesterday. Spent the evening swapping out parts and got it running (using the integrated video on the MB). Plugged in the old PCIe video card and didn't see POST go by, or any boot screens. Rebooted with the monitor plugged into the onboard, and found the setting in BIOS to have it use the PCIe video rather than onboard... Duh... Let it come up like that, and boom, same problems as the other MB/etc had :( Swapped the cheap PCI video card in, set it to use PCI video in BIOS, and nothing... Black screen the whole way :( Back to onboard video and it work fine. So, if the northbridge did overheat, could it have fried the video card? I'm kind of at a loss because I can now see the same video issues on different setups: - ASUS MB (fried?) + PCI video card - eVGA MB (new) + PCIe video card (and also - ASUS MB (fried?) + PCIe video card) -- Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
