I bought it from amazon. I've been spending 6+ hours with the desktop trying to get it to work. If this works and compared to my previous level of thinking it should in fact work: I Will poop a brick sire.

Please do not double post, much less post more than twice at the same time.

I appreciate you're trying to help but consider contact someone with an already stickied guide so he may add it to a stickied FAQ and credit you for the fix.
