Thanks for the tips,
After he gets up and it is lighter out, we will look at it some more.
Also I remembered it made a system beep, I will have to fire it up, listen for the beep, then look in the EVGA mama board book.

Again, not the way I would have built it.
I only use XP Pro for gaming rigs, and Asus mamaboards.

This came from IBuyPower.com, not my choice.

It has Vista Home Premium I believe.
Also it has two EVGA 9800 1 GB cards in SLI mode, 4 GB of system RAM, 500 GB Sata II hard drive, ect.
Its main purpose is to shred games, but will also be used for working with.

It is all covered under warranty though, just a hassle to deal with.
I told him when he contacts them on Monday to see if he has a maintenance plan on it where a tech can come look at it too.

Yes, I would have preferred to have gone to the mom and pop shop where I got all of my stuff from for my gaming rig I built over Christmas break.
