    Ok, so I got all of my components in yesterday:
    780i SLI mobo
    Ultra Chilltec cooler
    intel Q6600
    2x 9800GTX
    and my speakers

    I get everything put together (wiring is a nightmare in my case lol)
    and it won't boot =(
    the post codes cycle between 50 and 55 (ocassionally hitting 52 or 54)
    which all deal with the processor, and it hangs at any one of those. Up to that point it boots correctly.

    I'm currently only running one stick of memory, my cd drive and hard drive are not connected. One video card is currently connected and thats about it.

    And now i'm stuck at school when I want to be at home working on it and fighting it till it works lol Very Happy
    I need to bleed on it... Always works for my dad haha.

    I'm hanging at the following screen:

    im gonna try reseating the cpu after i get home, at this point i've ruled everything out but the cpu and the mobo. Its one of the two, unless its just a connection error somewhere. My dad is going to take a look at it before I get home and see if he can get it working.

    I have heard this board can be tricky to get the CPU to set correctly and actually post. I am hoping I don't have the problem cause the place I bought them from last night installed the CPU for free into the board for me.

    But yeah just try messing with the CPU a little bit and my quess is it will work fine for you.

    The cpu sets fine. I have built a handful of computers using this mobo and I never had any issues seating the cpu.

    The cpu has 2 notches in ti that makes it impossible to seat it wrong. But anything is possible when you aren't paying attention I guess.

    i was very careful to make sure my notches match up (my dad was kinda surprised at the fact that the processor itself doesn't have any pins on it Smile)
    anyways, i'm gonna try it again and see what happens.

    i know that they're on the board. I explained that to my dad lol, he had never seen it before. (My build is the first "new" intel build in the house. Its been a looooong time since my dad has used anything but AMD processors.)
