how about getting a new motherboard

what do i look like , a bank

have you stripped the system?

remove everything.

reseat one stick of ram & your video card, reseat your processor.

what happens now?

Sorry to chime in so late in the game but I would really want to look at the heat coming out of the processor by now. If its scalding hot its burning up. If there is no heat then its already gone. If its warm but not as warm as it should be then you could have a power problem with the CPU.

When you have a backup bios its a good thing, but if the processor is not available to work through that it doesnt help. BIOS is just that, BASIC input and output system. this is what the processor uses to work with the system and vice versa. No CPU, No System.

sorry was at work

cpu is gone with no heatsink and fan on it it is ice cold for a good 30 seconds instead of burning me after 30 seconds

and yes i did strip the system
