The bench test would be my next step, I am going to test the RAM first as that seems to corrolate with the same issue that I am having, however your barebones bench test suggests the same thing. I think my problem was that I have my RAM in the wrong slots and I did not test enough, I only ran...
Genius skittzle, I will move them around. It sounds like this guy was having the same problem as me. I took one stick out thinking it could be bad RAM, but it did not move it around or mess with it that much other than testing with just one 2GB stick.
Thanks again
I did check the manual and its a power issue. I have not cleared the cmos but i will do that before I take everything apart, hopefully that works.
Thanks for the advice
I have done most of the steps on the troubleshooting guide, as far as reconnecting power/cables, but since I cannot get it to POST, I am not able to do alot of the testing that is suggested in the guide.

This is the other PSU
Thanks all for the advice, I think I'm gonna wait about a month and then just suck it up and rebuild. I just need to get rid of the mobo instead of trying to work around it.
Thanks again
Ahh, that's too bad for me... How about AMD Phenom 9650? It is 2.3 ghz AM2+ 95W TDP so it is definitely an upgrade, but I'm wondering if it would even be worth it to get a quad-core or just goto dual-core till i can rebuild my computer. There is a 2.8 ghz AMD X2 that I think would work also...
Mobo: Gateway RS780
Chipset: AMD 780G
They don't have PSU on CPU-Z I don't think, but I have a ATI Radeon 4870 so my PSU is 660w I'm pretty sure, it's at least good enough for the graphics card to run.
I think i'm gonna need some extra cooling for the processor but if you guys can think of...
Anyone see any problems I might run into if I'm upgrading from 1.8 GHZ AMD Phenom X4 9100e to 3.0 GHZ AMD Phenom II X4 940? Both are AM2+. I would like to basically just swap them, but wanted a little input before doing so. Just wanted to know if I will have any compatability issues.
