Thanks for all the suggestions with my problems. I tried them all, but ultimately RMA'd the board. Since I couldn't wait on the return process and needed to verify it wasn't my OEM 6600 chip before my 15 day exchange no questions warranty was up, I ordered a P5B and some DDR2 ram. No problems now, so it definitely was a bad board. Thankfully I was able to return all the parts I bought to troubleshoot.
Coincidentally, my neighbor had the same problem with his ASROCK board from newegg (where I purchased mine from 2 days earlier than him) - I let him use the stuff I had bought to troubleshoot before returning them. He was upgrading from a previous intel platform, while I was from the AMD side. Maybe newegg has a bad batch?
I'll try the celeron from ebay in the replacement asrock when it comes next week. :thumbsup:
