So I recently purchased a DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH mobo and had intended on putting a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane 2.7GHz processor on it with CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) memory.

First board I get in shows an error code of 88 meaning something to do with video card of the board is bad. The video card I am putting on it is my 9800GT that I use now which works fine. So I assume its the board. Send it back, they send me a new one. Well this new one shows the same code. Nothing happens and the fan on my graphics card just spins really fast and loud compared to normal. What did I do wrong? lol
