The computer wouldn't post anyway if there is no CPU. Looks like one piece of hardware is dead.

Pretty good for the price, I don't like the brand that much but you should be alright. First make sure that it's your motherboard that dead and not your cpu.

David.....
Re-install the Cpu with new thermal grease.
I still find those memory jumpers confusing..... verify they are installed correctly!
* See pgs. 8 and 15.
What is the ampere rating of the 12volts on your PSU?
Can you have the Cpu tested at a local computer shop ?
** Don't let the warranty expire on your board/ Cpu before you do a RMA.

The wattage rating is 'Misleading'.......
Look on the side of the PSU case, it will tell you the amps rating of the voltages.
What is the amps rating of the 12volt rail ????
* What is the exact model# of the PSU ?

Dude, he's a pentium 4 1.7GHz, intergraded video and 128 ram. I can run that on an old pentium 2 power supply. You don't need 25 Amps on the 12V rail to run that system.
