Hi all I was hoping to shed some light on my issue.
My specs,

Intel DX38BT
intel core 2 extreme x6800
g skill f3-10666cl7d 2x 2GB
Geforce gtx 560 ti

DVI and HDMI black screen

I had flashed the bios with,
BTX3810J.86A.2006.EB.EXE
or
BTX3810J.86A.1397.EB.EXE
And it said it was successful.

not sure at this point which one :(
This is odd because they both show
up when i was looking at intels
updates for my board. Maybe
it doesn't matter which one of its
bios updates i use, maybe the bios defaulted
to hardware setting i do not have. either way
Can you help me get this sorted out Plz :(

I found this thread at Intels site,

http://communities.intel.com/message/70871#70871

maybe this is my problem. I try to run the comp without
mem it just turns on then off then on over and over again 0-o
my motherboard tool points to mem problems, but my cpu
doesn't support ddr3 10600. i looks like my board is ok
just need a cpu that runs with ddr3 1333 0r ddr3 10600?
bummer, do i by parts for a board that may be dead or just
replace it with a board of the same kind. when it may not
be broke!

I fixed it! I had spent hours looking online about my board and noticed comments about putting the comp into config mode. witch i didn't do yet 0-o....lol
I had noticed this little red light come on near the ram, so i googled
it and low andbehold, another guy with the same board with a bios
issue showed up lol. cool cool no broken rig for me :) just a shot os
that i am going to recover tomorrow.
Thx all.
