The 15 options was a bit of exageration. But there wasn't much. I got off the phone with AMD about 3 hours ago, we talked for about 25 minutes. I ran him through everything I did and he made a few small suggestions. One thing was that the older 3200+s ran at 97 watts (I believe) and then new ones run at 68 watts (also not sure on exact numbers). He said that the BIOS update should have fixed that problem. After about 25 minutes of trouble shooting, he had no idea. Neither of us did. That motherboard was even tested with a 3200+ he said, and he said there supposed to work. So whatever the cause of the problem was I have no idea. I can tell you what finally fixed it though. A Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M motherboard and a Asus K8U-X motherboard. Lol. The computers had to be finished, and since we were coming up with no solutions, we got them finished.

Right on

Now were moving onto a Server at the moment. Two western digital S-ATA 250GB drives set up in Raid 1. Everything is running smooth. It's especially nice when you finish a computer and you hear nothing but 1 single Beep, and it says Boot Disk Failure, Inserty System Disk and Press Enter. Gotta love it when it all goes smooth.

Hey Adam,

Very cool of you to return with the fix. Hope we'll see more of you around the forums, we can always use a good hardware guru.

TTFN
