New day...same problem.

Based on the post code 25, is it a safe assumption that it's more likely the mobo and not the CPU? Since I don't have another CPU to test, I can't truly rule that out. Both are under warranty, but I have to pick something to start with and my guess is, it seems more likely that it's the mobo. I've applied for the cross shipping option with Abit, so it's going to cost me about $50 in total to get this replaced. I hope I'm not wasting mine or Abit's time and money.

I wish I knew what happened to cause this problem. I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again.
