Hi,

I dont know if its any help but I have just had the same experience. I bought a Athlon 64 LE-1640 for a Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 motherboard and when I booted the system I got nothing at all. No Bios, just an empty screen.

The problem was that the Athlon 64 LE-1640 CPU while being supported by the GA-M56S-S3 mother, requires that the Bios on the motherboard be at level F2. The level on my motherboard is F1. So I get nothing.

The solution is to update the Bios to F2, or better still F4E, which is the latest Bios for this motherboard. It should then all work properly.

I dont know if this is any help but its worth checking.

Regards, JT
