Well I reckon it is highly unlikely but can't really think of anything else.
Just gone back to OcUK via Royal Mail Special Delivery so I guess I will now be waiting until Gibbo orders in some more Bad Axe boards.
Well anythings worth a try I guess.
Looks like your going to rule the CPU out with the Celeron, and I suppose if that fails it's the board.
I would always try another PSU tho, or have a DMM stuck in one of the molex connectors thus.
Also give the stock cooler a go as it looks like your using water and it might need something on the cooler header on the mobo.
Not seen this for ages, but some mobos don't boot as they think the fans failed.
BTW, do you have the online manual <Right Click Save Target As.....

i've been having a nightmare setting raid 0 on the Asus, just got windows installing now, after 2 days lol
I also remember reading that on XS about the badaxe, try the other slot - good luck
I had a nightmare with Raid 0 as well was it the raid drivers disk?

Well it was quite werid, when you boot up the PC with the Asus CD inside it asks you if you want to make a raid disk (this are the right drivers *floppy) but when you go into the menu in windows and click make driver disk... they are the wrong ones... so windows failed to see the drives...
I ended up using Intel raid controller (sata1 & sata2) to set raid 0, as I couldnt get the ez_raid (orange satas) to recognise the drives.
Use the Asus cd the create the sata drivers for windows install, select the Intel 82801GH/GM sata raid controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
btw, can anyone running this board report mb temps, mines reporting 52 at stock in bios and probe

Use of the EZ slots is complex and performance is lower than the ICH7R... the EZ basically goes via 1 channel of the ICH7R.
To use EZ you must read the manual very carfully. First you have to set the jumper for the mode yiou want.. i.e. 0, 1 etc. Then you have to set the EZ setting in the bios (Careful here) the setting in the bios makes the computer create the array next boot... thus pottentially destroying all your data on the drives.
i dont think you can easily boot from the EZ... but why you would want to as its slow is a mystery.
I run 2 x raptors (raid 0) on 2 of the ICH7R slots and 2 x Hitachi 250GB SataII drives in raid 0 on the EZ... works well
MB temp = 38 to 40c here... modded though, taken off the Digital Home plate and added a silent LED fan.
Comments on windows install. There are lots of different raid drivers on the floppy that the Cd creates... take care to pick the right ones... read the manual it does say.... remember this is ICH7R not 8R
