 I checked and I do have the hard drive as master on the first IDE bus.

  Do you mean set them to Auto in the Bios? If so I did this.

  How do I know about the memory showing up in the Bios? When I boot up I see it doing the memory test. How do I check the timing of the memory? 

  The place that did the upgrades on my old computer just took the old motherboard out with the memory and processer still on it. So I just installed it like it was. Seemed pretty cut and dry, Although I was a little confused about the wiring for the case. If I mixed up the negative and minus, it wouldn't cause the system hardware abnormal error would it? I appreciate all the help. I tried calling MSI but that was a complete disappointment as getting them on the phone is impossible!! Thanks!!
