i'm willing to bet it's your p/s though. and if your board is older, you should flash the bios. that might help.

Well if I can get the system stable I will flash the bios.
looks like it is the power supply though because I got real close to full boot then the screen started freaking on me giving me some really interesting effects
Looks like I am off to frys for a new supply

gl. i wouldn't jus buy any cheapo one either. get a brand name. quality does matter. Sparkle/Fortron-Source, PC Power and Cooling, Antec, Enermax, or Thermaltake are all good ones.
