ok well i still can't get the board to post. i tried removing the battery for 2 days, using one stick of ram in all the ram slots, the pci-e video card, a pci ati rage xl video card, swap the cpu, reseat the cpu, swap psu. is it even possible to post with only one cpu when it's meant to be used in multiple-processor systems?

i'm using cpu0 socket and tried one stick of ram situated on all of the cpu0dimm slots.
