With the power turned off, does the back POST LED screen display anything? I'm just starting to build my computer and it is displaying "CPU_INIT" and I haven't tried to turn on the PC at all. Does this mean that something is wrong?

I got that same thing when I built mine and after taking a closer look at the CPU pins on the MOBO I found that 2 of the pins were bent.

I got that error also when setting up my Striker...CPU_INITI

Reset the CMOS using the little button on the MB... it is a little tricky to do it right though, read the manual it has a blurb in there about it.

Dont RMA it... it is fixable, just takes some effort.
