I went out to get some stuff for my media center last night (new processor and RAM for an old mobo). I put everything together and never got any signal going to the TV, as I had guessed the mobo was shot.
I put all the original parts back in, got it all hooked up, turned it on...now it keeps looping on this:

I've tried booting it to every possible mode but it just keeps looping. It was around 2AM when I kept getting this and I had to be at work at 8:30AM so I didn't really have much time to mess around with it.
Anyone know what I could try?
On a side note:
Anyone know of a good AM2+ Mobo with at least 4 SATA ports (preferably 6) and takes DDR2 800 RAM (PC6400)? I don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for it (around 60 or less would be great) as it's just for my media center
