New intel Hardware issues (black screen)

POST code 7F usually indicates a Power Supply issue, I think, though it could also stem from a BIOS or CMOS issue, or from a RAM issue, as I recall - no manual in front of me, sorry.

Coupled with the black screen/no OS boot, POST code FF could indicate a BIOS problem; what it means, essentially, is "256", the numeric equivalent of hexdecimal "FF" - all 256 POST routines have run, POST is complete.

My first thought would be to try the video card in an otherwise known-good machine, which would at least tell you whether the problem is with your specific machine.

Dunno if this'll help, but you might try removing your video card, cleaning its contacts and those of the slot into which it seats, doing the same for each of your memory sticks, then resetting your CMOS (switch its jumper to a different position, with the machine not connected to power, push-and-hold the power-on switch, wait a few seconds, release the power switch, replace the CMOS battery, plug in the machine, power it on) and seeing what happens.

Wish I could be more help, but off the top of my head, thats about all I can come up with.

Thanks for the thoughts, I've been trying everything I can think of and it's a little confuseing. I've gotten to where I think the OS is actually loading but i'm not sure. I would try the card but this is a new machine and it's got all parts newer then my old ones. I took the memory out and the thing doesn't even do anything so i don't think the memory is a problem. The psu should be ok but i don't have another one with dual 12v connections. I have two cpus one brand spanking new and two mobos one brand spanking new so i really doubt one of those could be the problem. The video card was repaired supposedly so that shouldn't be the problem. This thing Should be working. It might be a cmos issue but with two boards and two cpu's? argh, i'll give your suggestions a shot, no one even has a comment at the abit website
