Last night I was installing my amd athlon 64 3700+ to my ASUS K8VSE Deluxe mobo and my mobo starting giving me an audio error: system failed cpu test. So I removed the cpu and tried booting up and the mobo said "no cpu installed" . I assume that the mobo is ok since it is recognizing the cpu and the lack of the cpu.
