Glad it is sorted though.

we didnt click that the ram slot was not working untill the second board arrived .It gave us fault beeps at post wich told us that it was faulty memory ,i removed 1 ram stick and restarted and got a post replaced the other stick got no post narrowed it down to slot 2 of the ram thats when we checked the cpu .The original board did not give us anybeeps at it did not even post so had no clue at all ,hence not telling anyone about faulty ram slots as we had no idea .
Might be worth mentioning that the original Asus board did not give any fault beeps as a result of the bent pin so if anyone building a board has these issues ..no beeps at post..no graphics...connecting IDE cable cuts power to the DVDRW then look at the pins on the CPU
Gygabit boards show the same symptoms but DO beep at post
