Solved Motherboard problem
For some reason my GIGABYTE GA-M720-US3 (rev. 1.0) mobo can not start up when i have my AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.10ghz Callisto 45nm installed, i tried and tried and never any luck, the monitor does not start up or anything, i have tested it and the mobo is all right. Now i m using my other mobo which is not as good. Sucks like.

Make sure the CPU is set completely. It might look like it is, but not be locked in. If it is not, it wont run.

I have seen this happen when I replaced a P4 and it wouldn't load....so I opened it back up and sure enough it wasn't locked in, It was close, but not locked in.

no, but you might have to re-activate it as you will get a prompt that says it is not genuine. I think this is how it goes.

Check the Gigabyte web site and see what Bios version supports that CPU. A Bios upgrade may cure the problem.

So you never even see the POST/BIOS on the monitor? Are you trying onboard video or vid card?
