I think I owe you two handjobs. I checked the temperature in BIOS and the cpu was at a nice, toasty 93C. I pulled the fan/heatsink off then I put it back on FIRMLY this time, and now it's running at 73C, and working properly. Thanks a ton!

Edit: Maybe I spoke too soon. After messing with it a bit more, I managed to get the cpu temp. down to 55C, and managed to install WinXP. However, it has been freezing on me, and when I restart, all it does is give me one long, drawn out beep. I'm not that up on my beeping knowledge, basically, I know is one short beep is good, two short beeps mean memory problem. I'm about at the end of my limit with this fucking hunk of shit, and I really want to just toss it out the fucking window.
