SUCCESS
my son now has a AMD PhenomII black, gigabit GA-880-D2H mobo 4 gig corsair dual channel ram with a ATI radion HD5770 GFX using a HD portable and a vga 15" monitor
The original problem as posted earlier was not the board it was the processor ,when the stuff was delivered i was at work and my son put the processor on the board and bent a pin causing one ram slot to stop working and the peculiar problem with the DVDRW ,but lucky for me the pin was the one next to the triangle so i was able to straighten it and now it works .It boots into windows in under 30secs is blisteringly fast and whisper quit
So thank you to everyone who assisted
