Okay, then I do have them. There are points that elevate the mobo from the backplate on my case already.

Still having issues, but sticking with it. Just irks me because I felt like I was going...

Hold up, brass risers? I did not get anything like that with either of the two MSI motherboards I have now tried. Is that something I can get at the local CompUSA or Best Buy?

FYI, since my last...

Never made it past first boot. Tried it with just RAM, video card, CPU & cooler installed, and tried with everything installed. Tested to make sure motherboard was not grounding out. Tried with...

Just did that. The cd drive spins up, I can hear the HDD working every now and then, just nothing on the screen. No signal even being sent to monitor it would seem.

Wanted to start a new thread on this, though it is pretty much the same issue I have been dealing with.

Working on that right now ... I think I can dig an old one up at work.

So now I have power ... just no screen. Had not reset CMOS, so did that last night (by jumper and removing battery), and still a black screen. Here are the steps I took ...

It was a bad PSU, went and picked a new one up yesterday, plugged it in and everything booted up ... now I just have to troubleshoot why nothing displays when it's turned on!

Thanks guys!

When I first flipped the switch, it...
