Having issues is half the fun. 




Fixing the issues gives you more knowledge of computers. It's satisfying when you fix the problem.

Clear the CMOS, the constant reboot could be the BIOS settings / failed OC (settings are for past different hardware)

Which computer?
The Asus P5K Premium - which I'm using to write this.
OR
The Asus P5Q Pro - which is the replacement I'm building.
 
The P5K has never been over-clocked, and I've reset the BIOS a couple of times already.

OK... Cleared the CMOS - Did not help.
I pulled the RAM and got a beep code:  - . .  Long, Short, Short Pause, Repeat.  No video.
I put the RAM back in, one at a time. No beep code, No video.
I swapped the RAM for a different set. No change. No video.
 
Also...
 
Pulled and reseated the video card, even though it looked good.
Swapped in an ATI video card with no improvement.
Changed slots for the video card.
 
I can't think of anything else I can do short of pulling the MB and installing the P5B MB and see if that one works...

Let us know how the mb swap goes.

Sorry guys - not much to report yet.
 
I've been kind of busy dealing with other stuff and haven't had time to swap Motherboards in the replacement system.
I have a suspicion that the other MB, which came out of that case originally is toast anyway - it is one of two computers that were given to me by a friend after she upgraded due to a lightning strike.
 
I've been watching Craigslist for a suitable LGA775 replacement MB, but nothing has shown up yet. Maybe next week when the pension check shows up...
 
I have however been doing some more research into a new MB, CPU, and DDR4 RAM to build a new system with. Here are the links:
 
Motherboard - GA-Z170X-GAMING 7 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-z170x-gaming-7-lga-43-113385.htm
CPU - BX80662G4500 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-pentium-processor-g4500-3m-c6-116973.htm
DDR4 RAM - F4-2400C15D-8GVR - http://www.ncix.com/detail/g-skill-ripjaws-v-8gb-2x4gb-8d-111404.htm
 
The MB is a pretty good one and priced at $240, I'm thinking that this will be a good base for my new system. The CPU and RAM are the cheapest I can find with the idea of getting a working system as quickly as possible. As it is fairly quick and easy to replace the CPU and the RAM, I can upgrade these items later as budget allows. Total cost would be about $460 including all taxes.
 
While it would be great to plug an i7 CPU into this board, the G4500 sells for only $94 while an i7-6700K runs $450. I'm just hoping it will be enough that I can get back to video editing. At least it should be stable.

No problem. Let us know how your new system works once you get it put together.

So... Any thoughts on this combo of parts as the basis for a new computer system?

I think those parts are just fine. Getting a better cpu would help speed up your video editing.
