Well been tryin to fix this new motherboard.. and now it hangs in linux... its not doing anything right... ive tried everything.. seems it has said its final piece

beware of the asus P5GD1-VM... also beware of gettin parts with no warranty

Is it the voltage-regulation capacitors up around the CPU? Some Pentium 4-era boards were made with a bad batch of Nichicon HM/HN series caps that were overfilled with electrolyte. If that's the case (they'll be burst open) the board's probably not worth saving unless you're a bit handy with a soldering iron.

See the cylinders that look like a can of Great Stuff shot with a pellet gun? Do you see anything like that on your board?
