is you video cards jumper set to your region? it may just be a jumper but try the cpu thing too.

im fairly positive its the cpu because when i start up i have a post display, and it always gets stuck at 18 which is like detecting the cpu and what band it is and all that junk.

i think one of the pins on the mobo got screwed up, any ideas on how to fix it?

have you tried another mobo? if one of the pins is messed up on there it could be overloading the cpu. that would stop the system from booting so it wont "hurt" itself.
