Some extra information. About 3 weeks ago i purchased a new computer...well parts to build a new one. It wouldnt boot either, just a black screen. I tested everythign except the mobo/cpu, so i guessed it was the mobo and rma'd it. So yesterday I was able to put in the new mobo i got back and the computer still wouldnt boot. So thats why I took the e6600 out of my old system (above system), to test it in the new computer. But it wouldnt boot also. So either both cpu's dont work, or I got another doa mobo. Could both these systems be having the same problem. All the symptoms are the same and no matter what combination of cpu/mobo i use, nothing works. Again all other parts work. All ram is good, both video cards are good, and disconnected everything else. Also tried clearing the cmos. So basically I have 2 computers just sitting here not working. This is causing a huge hassle for me
Thanks again.
