Hey BlackCat I agree with X-Ray your PC repair person is charging to much for a simple install. Your best bet is to ship your mother board to Wizid. Remember always ground yourself out before touching anything inside your machine, it's easy just unplug all the power from the machine and touch the side of your power supply, then disconnect all the cables and when you have a clear view of the mother board, then remove the screws to take up the MOBO. Do not remove the processor or the heatsink connected to it, that is a big NO NO for a novice builder. Also it might be something as simple as a Bad Power Supply or a bad memory chip. If you need help shipping the items to Wizid please PM if you have a Paypal account we can get this done right away. Oh and shipping is easy if need be, ask your quote un-quote PC repair person for a Mother Board Static bag before shipping. By the way you got to love this Idiot family of ours they are the best.
