Mobo problems?

[Muhahahaha]

I just received most of the parts for my new rig. I ended up going with this ABIT mobo(http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-188&depa=0) because of the price. Not a bad deal for a 925XE chipset board, eh? Anyways, there are two seven-segment LED displays on the board, and when I boot it up, the computer starts beeping, "bee boo bee boo..." and numbers show up. First there's a "90", then when I go to turn it off, this changes to a "97." Once it has shutdown, this becomes an "F3." According to the manual, those mean, repectively, "Complete uGuru initial process; AWARD BIOS take over booting job", "Check CPU core voltage", and "Power off sequence timeout." Those don't seem like error messages, so I'm not sure if they will be of any help. Currently I only have the mobo, PSU, video card, RAM and fans installed, so that means I still have not installed the CPU (hasn't arrived yet) or the drives (still in my current machine, obviously). Is it simply because it doesn't detect the processor? I didn't think it would do that, because the Intel board I just returned worked fine without a processor. My stats for this new comp are as seen below. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I think maybe I figured it out, but I don't have time right now to check. I might have connected the front panel USB plugs into the FireWire pins on the mobo by accident. Anyways, I'm leaving now, so any other help would be great.

Well, I have the front panel USB ports plugged in correctly now, but it still does the same thing. I didn't see the USB pins because the large passive heatsink for my X800 Pro was covering them up. One set of USB pins it still barely accessible, however, so I am using those. Now that I am back, can someone please help me figure out what is wrong?

You are arunning a motherboard without a processor!! I never knew you could do it or even try to. My guess is that would be why. I didn't turn my system on at all until everything was in it.

 

[Muhahahaha]

Well, I mean it's not like I'm telling it to do anything, I only turned the power on. I guess that may be the problem, but the intel 915G board I had didn't do that. Oh well, I have to wait for the processor now... I'm afraid of beeps then, I could screw things up.
