also could this be related to using a x2 4200 cpu without bios 2.0 ?

The error codes are written strangly

you need to have a close look and see it it is 5.0 or 50
For 5.0 you need to reset the CMOS....power off...Cmos battery out...5 min
wait...put it back ..power up and enter the BIOS to correct your settings.

For 50...your having USB problems check your settings ,mobo connections

cheers peter,
could the error 50 be caused by the usb headers being inserted incorrectly
causing mobo damage ?
reason im asking is i sold this board on ebay as working, and the new owner
is having issues,
cheers

Its almost impossible to do that......they have that blank on one side
but if someone did manage that or plug IEE into USB it would just not work
and maybe give that error code.
It would not necesarily break the Mobo...........
