I stripped everything out. No cards installed except video. No drives connected. I've reset CMOS, pulled the power cord and yanked the battery. I've tried an old PCI video card, different RAM sticks and another PSU.

Connecting the old hard drive didn't do anything. I don't have a spare CPU or mobo around to swap those. Could it be the CPU or most likely the mobo? Anybody know what the warranty period is on these mobos?

Thanks.

i had this problem one time when i initially got the board...i think my problem was a bad memory stick...what you need to do if you can get into the bios is set 2.1v for Vdimm and then save to see if that helps...just post/boot with one stick and try it in different slots, just to rule out a dimm slot problem...one of the descriptions for code '25' is, "assign memory & I/O resource."
