Glad it worked out for you. I had two of those boards and was happy with them. In fact one of them is still working. ASUS makes quality boards I use them for my computers exclusively and have for about 15 years. ASRock has come a long way. I have heard good things about them.
There are a number of them on eBay.

They are few and far between. How about this one?

Why online? Why not a BU drive? I have an internal BU drive and an external. Data in 3 places. Granted HDD's are high right now, but cheaper in the long run and I am not relying on someone else to keep my data. Also, if you have a lot of pictures, etc. it takes quite a while to upload.

1 long 2 short on that bios means that it's the video and can't display. Sounds like the mobo's video card slot is bad. Had the same thing happen on M2n-SLI Deluxe. Replaced with M2N68-AM plus about four months ago. The MOBO can still give error codes, the whole board is not bad just the PCIe...
You didn't say what bios is on your board. Go to this link http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm and it will tell you what your beeps mean for your bios.
I went through this after a bios update which changed my boot priority. Make sure it hasn't been changed. Also, there is no bootmgr in Vista or 7. In XP just reset defaults in the bios.
I had one that died a few months ago. I was still playing everything with good FPS. They are selling for $50 up on eBay. Thought about getting another one for my backup PC, but bought a 6670 instead.
I wouldn't buy a used video card on ebay, but ebay does have have some ligitimate retailers. Check their feedback if they have feed back in thousands and 99% positive they are probably legit. Also some of these sellers are very good with RMA's. Paying with PayPal makes it even safer. I have...
You can put an AM3 CPU in an AM3+ socket, but not an AM3+ CPU in an AM3 socket.
Giga AM3+ sockets are the 880 and 990 series. You can check with Giga if they have a bios upgrade for your board, but everything I have read says no.
