I was afraid you were going to tell me that LOL.
Maybe I'll get lucky and hopefully find bad resistor in the SPI, if all that goes well, then I guess I will call the board dead =-/
I will let you know how it goes. let me get to probing the SPI.....
I am talking about with the heat sink on. I learned my lesson 2 years ago on a Mac Logic Board especially these, not to run them with out the heatsink as it will damage (which happened in my case) the CPU.
