Since you already had problems relating to what is most likely bad grounding and rebooting issues while plugging in USB devices you may be causing other issues to develop with this board.

 

There are a few errors that the motherboard can alert you to without a CPU installed. Those are usually related to power issues, grounding, and an improper setting on a dip switch.

Just for the record, the ASUS M2N SLS Delux DOES NOT PEEP if no CPU is installed.

My system works fine now (after installing CPU, RAM and video)
Thanks for everybody who helped.

Often running a programming language of their own, these chips store the basic command and control functions of the computer. In an article written by Robert Lemos of SecurityFocus, security researchers say that rootkits could take advantage of this language and are the "next logical step". Read more
