Hmm there have been many problems in the past with compat probs with the 9600 and this type of mobo. does it just not do anything on boot?? i had similar probs with the abit kv8 pro and 6600gt. just didnt want to know despite replacing everything else. Put it down to experience and got myself a new mobo.
