I finally found the brand of the MOBO will let you know when I'm ready to update (flash) the bios. Thanks for all of the input.

Don't I know it. Special adapter for the power supply. The memory was out of this world. In retrospect I wouldn't have spent a dime on this machine I would have built/bought a new one. The hardest thing is getting information. Aaah the wonderful world of hind sight.

Thank you both.

Help! I goto run type IPCONFIG and the window opens and immediately closes.

I agree, you should dispute the charge and file a complaint with EBAY.
