Is that why the USB ports arent working then? Yes the 2 motherboards are completely different ><. I was playing around with my vid card to get it to work and since I use that little adapter so I can fit my monitor cable on the card I was wondering if thats the problem. Sure enough I tried it on my 5200fx ultra graphics card (the adapter) and it was also a blank monitor. Is the adapter the problem? or does my monitor have to support a certain thing for the adapter to work? Thanks for replying, was starting to think my thread was gonna get lost

Will I have to wipe the HD in order to install the OS on the new mobo too?
