Thanks for your help guys. I had bought the motherboard and cpu on saturday, the one that just passed. so i called the company i bought it from to ask for their suggestions and they said if that didn't work to bring it in. So i tried what they told me to do which was run the board outside of the case without the cpu and everthing, just have the board plugged in. It still didn't work, so i took the board and cpu over to the store so they could check it and it turns out the chip was done and the socket on the motherboard was toast too. So i think they will be replacing it for free, not sure yet though if that is true or not. But thank you all for your help and your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated.
