punktigerSorry for the lack of news about the project. I ended up sending back the motherboard to NewEgg on Friday in exchange for a new one. According to my tracker, it hasn't arrived there yet.
I had been thinking that if it isn't the motherboard, it might be the processor, but when I removed the processor from the board, it shows absolutely no signs of damage. Unfortunately, I don't have another spare motherboard I can try the processor in, so I can't really check it.
Anyway, while I'm waiting for the new motherboard, I hooked up the original computer I had planned to use for this build to see what it all looks like when running. Of course the computer and graphics card works well. It handles the two-screen output like a champ. I just can't use it because there's so little room inside the cabinet, it won't fit -- mainly due to the height of the graphics card (GTX 750ti). So, I hooked it up outside the cabinet.
If anything I'm finding out how to run Visual Pinball (the main virtual pinball program I'm using for this build) with a two-screen setup... what files go where and the like.
That's all for right now. I probably won't pick this up again until after the replacement motherboard arrives.
