I think I found the real problem....Perhaps insufficient power or an issue with the board failing itself. I had the Celeron in. It was working last night but now when i turned the motherboard on. It flickered on and off a few times and wouldnt post with the celeron. I noticed the PSU light flickering, so i tried a different PSU. Lo and behold the second PSU turned the motherboard on. Light did turn blue, but it never posted. To my utter horror, I smelled smoke. A VRM chip on the board had fried. I now suspect that the board itself may have been the problem and not the CPU. I am going to try to find a branded board that is known to work with this mod vs a Dell Intel branded one.
