Hi Brian, I was expecting to be at the meeting Sat but could not come. I can tell you this: Do Not short out the cmos jumpers with the power supply on! You are to move the jumper from its present setting of 1-2 to 2-3 for a few moments and then put the jumper back on 1-2. This is a pretty common configuration. I just hope you have not done any harm to the cmos by shorting pins. You may be lucky and done it while no power was supplied to the motherboard as it would be if up and running. If you look up the motherboard on line and download the manual it will probably tell you the codes for the leds that you see. Not sure what 00 would be but it is probably either saying no cpu or a ram problem. Normally a board will boot up or post with ram in either of the two slots but some require ram in both slots or in a case where there are 4 slots to be in at least two of them. Check to see your cpu is in place as suggested before and then before putting on the cpu fan and heatsink, be sure to use the cpu grease as required. I also wonder if you did plug in the set of wires which plug into the motherboard near the cpu. These are the ones labeled as going to the cpu from the power supply. At least a plug with 4 wires on it but in most later mb's it is usually 6 or 8 wires. You can call me if you wish.
