Ok, The switch has begun and on a very basic level. I installed the MB and the CPU and 64 meg of RAM. I put in a video card. Just the bare basics so I could check into the bios. Here's what happened; I turned on the computer the moniter came up and the bios screen came up but it blinked incesantly. I changed the RAM chip same thing, changed the power supply same thing. If I hit the delete key the blue bios screen comes up no flicker but the moment I am out of that screen and back at the bios start screen it flickers.  I tried the load fail safe option and load optimize option both eith same result.I have no hard drives,no CD-ROM's, no floppy drive hooked up to the MB, so it can't be any of those.  So I am wondering Why is my screen flickering?
Product Specs:
Gigabyte GA-7ix with AWARD bios
64meg RAM SDRAM PC-100
Diamond 64 PCI video card.
I have the internal speaker hooked up and I get one beep. Which I belive is normal. So anybody got a guess?
