Error message is "ERROR MESSAGE", the word message is abbreviated to fit onto the screen. CPU, RAM and hard drives all past the post tests but this error manifests itself by not allowing me to have any display through my 9800 GPU, on either DVI sockets, so I can't even go into the BIOS!

The 9800 GPU which is also brand new works on another motherboard so I know that's not faulty. Any suggestions would be appreciated or shall I just RMA the motherboard after all the hard work of installing the water block/fusion block?

Before I go I would like to give out this warning, DO not under any circumstances used the reducers/fittings at Asus supplied with this motherboard, they leak or completely fail with any lateral pressure, as I found out to my cost, but fortunately I had no other components installed and I was using non conductive coolants!

Any help on the debug code error message would be appreciated as I'm sure you guys will be quicker than Asus.
The LCD shows "ErrMsg" whenever there is a POST error. It did it when I got the message during my post that my NB,SB and CPU was overheating.Also, look @ the sequence of the LCD post message. It usually gives you indication which component could be the trouble maker. It starts from "Code Init" then "CPU init" and so on.
