So I got a replacement mobo in the mail from DFI today...being excited that I might actually have a computer again, I hooked it all up and powered it on. Unfortunately for me, nothing came on the screen, and after multiple CMOS resets (through the jumper and also through the battery out/power off routine) the system hangs while trying to check the CMOS checksum.
Any suggestions? It's a DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra Rev. A, and it's hacking me off to no end.
