are you getting the single post beep
what power supply
brand and wattage are you running

Braco · 07-06-2008, 12:18 AM

i am running a 500w power supply and the make is PROCASE...A friend of mine also tried the processor and we came to the conclusion that it could be faulty...cos he's running a 600w powersupply...and he also no display...

**Pharaohz** · 07-06-2008, 12:52 AM

did you re do the thermal paste each time?

dai · 07-06-2008, 01:31 AM

600w does not mean much it is the quality of the brand that determines how good it is
do you get the single beep to say it has posted

vladimirb · 07-06-2008, 03:57 AM

Hey mate,
could you please put back old processor and try to start PC...
If you get picture, then either your new CPU is faulty or you have insufficient power...
if you do not get any picture on display even if you have turned back old processor then maybe you have damaged pins on socket on Motherboard...
Report back please...

Braco · 07-07-2008, 10:47 AM

it works just great with the old processor...i am about to try yet another e6550 core 2 duo processor...maybe just maybe i could have bought a dud one...just maybe you never know...but i will sure keep you guys posted...thx again...thus far for all your help...i really appreciate it...

Braco · 07-07-2008, 11:17 AM

sorry to say still no luck i think that it might be that my board or powersupply is corrupt...i have tried everything could it be that the processor is board specific...cos my friend has a IBM Think Centre Lenovo mobo and it starts no hassle...i have a DQ965GF Intel mobo...all but just problems...

Braco · 07-07-2008, 11:21 AM

i don't get the posted beep just display no signal on the monitor...?

dai · 07-07-2008, 10:46 PM

try it with only 1 stick of ram in

**Pharaohz** · 07-07-2008, 11:02 PM

Double check to see if there is bios update for upgraded cpus.
Is it an OEM cpu? It might not like non oem boards.
Any board jumpers or bios settings that need to be messed with? Some board do not auto set mhz for new cpus.

Braco · 07-08-2008, 07:38 AM

Pharoahz i think that might be it cos wen i install the single core cpu...the bios reads it at 800mhz...i have already updated the bios version to the latest version...do u perhaps know how to gippo the mobo...a setting of some sort...jumper or flash program...??? i think it is a oem cpu and i have a non oem mobo...

Braco · 07-08-2008, 10:11 AM

if the cpu is oem..is there mobo that is compatable...? or have i just wasted my bucks...?

**Pharaohz** · 07-08-2008, 06:11 PM

Well I had the same thing happen with my 478 board. After 3 different cpus of the same model number (all oem). The last thing I tried was to update my bios. There was an update out just for upgraded cpus. But something went wrong and I messed up my bios. So I cant say for a 100% fact that it was the oem chip or the bios. Though I displayed fine and was able to run the computer. It just paused/stalled about once a minute for a second or so. This very well could be a totally different problem. Still lots of things to check before giving up. :)

I would read up on voltages and such to make sure the mobo is getting the power it needs by getting a program that reads em. Possible to test a non oem cpu of the same type? Might take your system into a locale place and have em test the cpu and or the board. That would be the cheapest way I guess.

Braco · 07-08-2008, 10:46 PM

i will read up on it..thanks i will advise if & when i am successful...there should be some boot-up files in the boot directory that one should be able to manipulate...

Braco · 07-10-2008, 01:20 PM

Hi Guys
could i also experience the problem due to the fact that my video bios is out of date...i am currently busy updating my video bios ...i will keep you guys posted...

dai · 07-11-2008, 02:04 AM

the video bios would have no affect
set it up out of the case where you can get a good look at everything
set it up out of the case on a piece of cardboard with
cpu
video
ram
speaker
and see if you get post
