incorrect , nearly all sata2 drives (except some maxtors) have a jumper for backward compatbility, as alredy said its not automatic http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/faq/sata_lock.html

are you saying it happens only after inserting the wifi card? if so then get the latest driver , if it happens just like that too when the wifi card is out then i need the bsod logs to get the bottom of it , get into c:\windows\minidump and rar/zip all files , upload to www.mytempdir.com

you need to jumper it to sata1 in order for the mobo to pick it up as it supports sata1 only , sata2 drives are backward compatible but not automatically it all depends on the jumper position..

try resetting the cmos , unplug the power cord and get the battery out for 1 hour ,then put it back & plug the cord & power up , its important to put the battery back exactly as it was and not upside down (in most mobos it should be with the + sign ontop)

what about some answers? if you did connect em then you probably got the mobo DOA , a good mobo will beep without ram..

antec have only neohe/smartpower/phantom on the 500w line which one of em do you have? did you connect the 4pin plug to the mobo? and what about the 6pin plug to the video card?

they look good reseat the ram/video card/4pin plug , its possible the case is shorting the mobo i suggest youll get it out of it , put it on a non conductive surface like a cardboard and see how it goes

read on newegg , i suggest youll avoid em and go with seagate/samsung/western digital

i wouldnt get new ram so quickly if i were you , memtest errors doesnt nessiarly mean the ram itself is bad , in most cases its a timings/voltage issue or too high overclock (when overclocking the ram goes up too not just the processor..) , also maybe the mobo dislikes that ram (sometimes...

Re: No POST, No BIOS, No Beeps... you did connect the power plug to it right? , try without the ide cable maybe you connected it upsidedown to the drive or mobo did you connect the 4pin plug to the mobo?

IMO the + edition is better , have a look at this post http://techist.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100076#post772511 what do you mean by "intense RAM exercises" ? , bsod logs are kept in c:\windows\minidump , rar/zip all and upload to www.mytempdir.com , ill analyze the recent and let you...

check pms

if the optical drive is set to CS , change it to master/slave also reseat the ide cable & try another if the problem remains check the mobo for bad capacitors and better use a flashlight as its kinda dark in there , see examples http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=195...

the bios identifies it? on the ide cable its connected standalone or with another drive?

theres no drivers for optical drives (well there is,only for dos) , windows uses a generic driver that works very well see this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/
