i did that.. both things. i left the battery out for a while even after trying for only a few seconds. cleared the cmos jumper many times. what do you mean boot with a different card?? you mean gpu or cpu ive tried both things.. nothing helps... the mobo just sits there with 88 on and fans spinning. i also tried different ram, 3 cpu's and 2 gpu's while booting.. i played with this thing all day and got pretty frustrated i couldnt get it to do anything

still doesnt explain why im seeing 15+v with a dmm with the mobo hooked up??
