Somewhat with Oberon on that. I don't think I had opened a ZIF until I went to put my LGA775 in. Yeah, I'd done RAM and a video card, but I did very well the first time.
I messed up as I didn't reset the CMOS - this is why I posted the warning. I flipped out because the mobo (connected to a stupid little case speaker) went bonkers and sounded like a fire alarm. Scared the hell out of me. Then I turned it off and reset the CMOS, and I was fine.
The second mistake wasn't entirely my fault - ABIT does not package Serial ATA power cables. Had to wait two days before I could get my stinky little hands on them.
I hate to say it, but I really agree with SiN. Building computers take KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, and PATIENCE - and it sounds like you don't really have any of the above in this subject. You really are better off just buying a new motherboard and CPU and letting the "army computer nerds" do it for you - it'd be a shame to blow two boards.
