Probably not this, but have you checked your TV? ;P
The TV works fine, although I have been wondering if it is a hdmi handshake issue. I am going to try bypassing the AVR and I will also try hooking it up to another TV. It is unfortunate that I do not have a spare dvi/vga cord around
The lack of a speaker on the motherboard makes it very hard to determine how far along the boot process is getting.
