I have to call upon your help again, General Hardware warriors. My brand new build (well the motherboard and CPU are brand new) was working fine a few minutes ago, I restarted to fiddle in the BIOS some more and now it won't boot up. It won't even POST or beep. This time, even doing the one stick of RAM trick isn't working, and neither does resetting the motherboard. I'm starting to think that defenestrating the computer is an appealing idea at this point.
New AM3 build is dead AGAIN

Does that mean you've moved the CMOS jumper or removed the CMOS battery ?
If you haven't , try that now and it should reset the BIOS.

Yeah. You will see a little blue jumper on the mobo. Move it along 1, trying starting pc (it wont start so its normal) then put it back again and it will put the mobo to defalts. Also taking the mobo battery out and waiting 2 mins then put it back in does the same thing, jsut more hastle.
I always find it easier to remove the battery myself, hate jumpers always end up letting them fall, let one fall into my power supply a while ago, had to take the power supply apart to get it back.. the wonders of having a power supply on the bottom on your case!
