Thks anyway for the recommendation, you'll never know!

Unfortunately most no-post fault finding endeavors require extra hardware for testing.

It's what I am going to try with a PC Store overhere (but there are not so good and help full as the one in USA or Europe. Tonight will try out of the Box with th minimum mentioned by 3.0 Charlie (CPU, 1 RAm stick, Video Card)

You need to enter into the signature block of "user CP" but it might be too big to fit. (See how mine is laid out?).

As far as Motherboards go.... there seem to be two main schools of thought here.... One (the one I belong to... :) ) would suggest one of the lower end Gigabyte P35 boards, and the Other would suggest one of the ASUS boards.

Let's not give up on your motherboard yet though. Unless you have reason to suspect that there was something wrong with the board to begin with.... there's still a good chance that getting either a dual core CPU onto it, or a 1 gig stick of memory will allow you to get a bios flash to something that will work. (Depending on what a shop will charge you, it would probably cost about the same to flash the bios, as it would for them to test the board out anywise).

Thks again, I will give a try with a store here but I as said they do not even mnage yet this kind of MB overhere so sometime I find out that I know more than they do, and I am quiet roukie in that.

About Signature I will remake it

Have to go know, not a good idea to build you own PC with wife and Kid, no much time left. Be back tomorrow

SSWILSON
Thank you for you help and all of you from this forum, looks like my problem is solved.
I did a barebone out of the Box after reinstall my Q6600 G0, replace thermal compound, and straight up one of the Mobo Pin in the receptacle of CPU.

BIOS post first time, update immediately BIOS to Version Beta 1006 of ASUS's web page as recommneded by they support Dpt.

Installed in the Box with all device, using Plastic Stand Off and everything is going well so far, BIOS recognize my 8GB RAM and all device installed. Temp 35 Celtius so I think I put correctly the Thermal Compound (the only one I could get here is Manhattan Brand, must not be the best!)
In BIOS I just change The RAM from auto too 800mhz, and the BIOS shows 5.5.5.15, RAM Brand announce them as 5.6.6.18 but I did not want to change it since everything looks OK.

Problem could be 1) electric Short of MoBo with case 2) Wrong rotation position of Heatsink (I do not know if it can affect but the first time the Fan Cable was not pointing to the front side of the case) 3) Bended pin on MoBo CPU's receptacle

The only thing that went wrong is the first I could access BIOS Set Up I change PEG-PCI to PCI-PEG since I though it was to start video from PCI-E slot but after saving and exit my Screen stay in black, so I just reset CMOS and evrything started again.

Once more thank you for your help.

Hope this experience will serve to somebody in the future

Glad to hear that you got everything up and running.

A socket bent pin? I always forget about those when troubleshooting.

[sswilson]

Having had a bent pin, you're not going to want to swap CPUs in and out now that it's working. Best to leave it alone as much as possible.

You can be sure that I won't touch anything untill I have a new thread!
To much headacke with the first one, for me there will be no OC, or tweaking stuff.

Thanks to all
