I'm thinking that this is the problem. I got the board from Newegg, it's got the default BIOS installed, whatever version that is I can't tell because it won't post.

Is there any way to tell the BIOS version of a new board that won't post?

Hmm... anyone in Lincoln, Nebraska got a 920 cpu to loan me so that I can flash the BIOS? Or is there a way to flash the BIOS with a thumb drive regardless of the cpu installed or not installed?
