Also if you tested the CPU in the manner you stated, you hopefully cleaned off the old thermal paste and reinstalled new paste and reseated the HSF properly. Heres some good instructions if needed. This must be done every time the HSF is removed.

If your floppy isn't responding, make sure your ribbon cable is oriented correctly. The red line on the cable goes to the #1 pin.

I see from your mobo specs that it does NOT have any onboard video to disable. Can you test the video card in another system or do you know that it works positively? I would try it in another system anyway.

Hve you tried booting it up with the WinXP(if that is what you are using) in the ROM drive to install the OS? Is your boot order set to 'floppy-ROM-HDD'?
