As Promised, here is the Ultimate Boot CD .iso image.
You can burn the image with whatever DVD/CD Burning software you have (Nero, Roxio - whatever, theres a bunch of freeware tools out there too if you need them)
Ultimate Boot CD is a freeware/open source project, so no worries with pirate apps and what not here.

To be on the safe side, might be better to take it in and have a techie test, but my $ would be on motherboard failure.

i have another mobo and it works with the original CPU, now i am sitting on "startup repair" hoping that i will get the info on my raid HDDs.
if anyone has tips on resoting info from raid 0 i would appreciate the tips.
