Background:
Unplugged everything but PSU, CPU, RAM, and Video Card (PCI-e).
Reseated CPU, CPU fan plugged in and spins, and video card has 6-pin power.
Cleared CMOS with jumper for 15 minutes with battery and everything unplugged.
One cap on video card popped a little on the top; otherwise card "seems" to work fine.
Issue:
Will not boot off of CD. 1 in 10ish boots work off of USB.
Sometimes does not boot at all and will restart itself in a loop.
On board Ethernet port is dead.
Cannot boot with only 2 RAM modules in Slot1+Slot4 or Slot1+Slot2. Will only boot with RAM in Slot1+Slot2+Slot4.
Booted to RAM test on USB and many address failures (10,000+). Had Vista do its little memory scan on boot and returned 0 errors.
Windows Vista BSOD every so often; cannot get to Control Panel options. Explorer keeps crashing. Tried SFC and CHKDSK.
I'm guessing that the MB is bad not the RAM, CPU, or video card. Any advice?
