Cant get past BIOS

Tags: bios, past, get, cant, boot
Hey Experts!

 I tried to get this board working and it's for my main system. The whole story is that I'm not able to get into BIOS setup using the regular "DEL". The other point is that it goes to a certain point in boot up, gives a CPU ID: 06A0 then memory checks out good. I did all the troubleshooting removing parts, start with the minimum. I already RMA'd the board with a new one and gives the same problem. I'll give specs below:

Gigabyte GA-7N700Pro 2
Kingston HyperX Memory 512MB 3200
AMD XP 2600+
Creative Audigy2 ZS
ATI 9800 PRO

I don't know exactly the problem is although it's locked at 1.1GHZ speed. I know about the switch on mobo to do that change from 100mhz fsb. The same thing happened with the old board with speed locked at 1.1Ghz and could not get into BIOS with default DEL key. I'm pretty sure it's not the mobo since it's new and memory it's showing good. I'm about to drop my CPU and mobo out the door after waiting forever to get RMA back and then it doesn't work. Anyway, I'll answer your questions and give you the results later. Thanks
