thanks for the response!

nope...nothing touching...got it on a cardboard box on my desk.

I've tried several power supplies. Tried 4 seperate cpus(all known working)
Tried 8 seperate sticks of pc100/pc133 ram...many different video cards from
agp to isa! haha

guess there must be a break somewhere in the board, or perhaps a cold solder
joint...dunno, tried just about everything I can think of...even tried a
"hot-swapped" bios flash..geezz...im game for any obscure suggestion!

You have the motherboard outside of the case and just sitting on a
cardboard box with everything attached to it and are trying to run it
that way? I'm just trying to understand your repsonse. And see if you
understand mine.
What I'm talking about is when you are mounting the motherboard to the
bottom of the case or to a mobo tray that's part of the case, in most
cases you need little support posts that the motherboard sits on and
that you secure the motherboard to the case with screws. Sometimes when
swapping out motherboards an extra post might be accidentally left
behind when installing. This has personally stopped me from getting a POST.
