I feel like i already know that the board is toast, and that I am an idiot but...wouldn't mind getting a more experienced/professional opinion on the matter.
Installed a phenom II x4 955 into this board. I made a total rookie mistake just assuming that the internet was right about what board i have and didn't actually get the numbers off the board before ordering and installing this part. I was under the assumption that it was a 125w board, obviously after getting the numbers off of it i was totally wrong. At the same time i installed 4 new sticks of RAM that were ddr2-800 instead of the OEM 667, but i think that is a moot point here.
After installing and failing to boot (HDD spins, fans light and spin, drives work etc.) in 3 tries i did my proper research and re-installed the original CPU. I tried this with the new RAM and then after that failed i realized i was probably FUBAR and i went barebones start up - 1 stick of OEM known good ram, removed GPU and display straight from mobo, PS2 keyboard and fired it up - still no boot. Pulled the cmos jumper and no boot. Pulled the bios battery and cmos jumper and no boot. All my connections are good and fully seated. I think i know what you guys are going to say after all that
Any ideas or confirmations would be appreciated. Not the type of post i wanted for my first post here
