Many thanks for your reply Ninetto.
I have now decided to refer this matter to the professionals over at PlanetDV in Bradford UK before I waste any more money on testing any more components in my PC and having a nervous breakdown. – PlanetDV have always been very helpful to me in the past!
They are going to fit my machine with an Intel D975XBX2 mobo as specified by BMD, and after they finally get it working I intend to glean every bit of information that I can get from them with respect to any changes to the BIOS or jumper settings, and pass the information on…….
This not the first time I have been in this predicament, and I really wish firms like BMD would get their products right before unleashing them on the poor unsuspecting public!
Meanwhile, any further information from anyone else would be most appreciated
