Problem during POST on AV8 3rd-eye

I have just built my first computer and everything was going fine,
until I went to turn the damn thing on. When the power was switched on
at the mains the diagnostic LEDs displayed 02. When I switched the
machine on (or tried to) it showed 83 and then went to 9C shortly
after.

My system spec is as follows:
AMD Athlon64 3500+ (939 pin)
Corsair TwinX 3200XLPRO 2x512MB Dual-DDR
XFX GeForce 6800GT
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1
Western Digital 74GB 10,000rpm Raptor HDD
Plextor PX-116A 16x/48x DVD-ROM

I Have read the manual and cannot figure out what the POST code means.
Any help with how to rectify this problem would be greatly
appriciated.

I do not have this board :-( but maybe this will help. As soon as you
turn on the machine, hit DELETE to try and get into the bios. If you
can get into the bios load the defaults and then go through the entire
bios to see that the options are set up the way you want them set up.

The manual is not too helpful on those codes.

Good Luck

What pwer supply are you using? Seems that some don't give the AV8 power the
way it wants it. I had an older Antec 480W TruePower that needed to RMA'd
because of this problem. My replacement unit has been working fine for a few
weeks now.
