Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it's going to be a week or so before I can try any of your ideas/suggestions out as my motherboard just died this morning... My new one won't be here until next week and I'm going to RMA this one and give it to my wife once that comes back. I'll let you know once I get things installed again (going to start fresh as I was needing to do this for awhile now) and that will hopefully eliminate any issues that are related to what's going on for me. Thanks again!

happy to help if needed. there shouldn't be any reason you can't get it going. just some little something fragged somewhere, no doubt. starting over will surely get it going.

good luck to you and your mobo.
