Ok here is the deal I fried a XP2100 in my Asus board (A7V8X) So i got off newegg a XP2200 and a XP 2600.

When I put the XP2100 in (the one i think is dead) It turns on for 2-3 seconds and then shuts off. I remove the processor and I hear "no CPU Detected". I put it back in, same thing.

I test the XP2100 in an Abit KR7, no beep codes and no green light on monitor.
Test XP2100 in Abit KT7-333 same as the other Abit.
Test XP2100 in a Soyo Dragon Ultra... same.

So i put in the new XP2200 in to the Asus, same result, nothing, remove then Voice saying no CPU.
Both abits nothing and the soyo... nothing.

So i bust out the XP2600... It works in the KR7, it works in the Soyo. I tested the Abit KT7-333 and i just get on really long beep code.

I am scared to test it in the Asus because it was the first one i tested the XP2200 in and the one i blew up the 2100 in. Should i test the 2600 in the Asus? and hope i got a DOA on the 2200? Or should i give up on the Asus which is my favorite board outta all four of my collection.

Plus in the KT7-333 i thought that one long beep code was for the processor. But i retested it in the Soyo and the XP2600 still works.

So what do you all think i should do? I just want a second opinion or hopefully someone else can give some good advice.

How did i burn out the processor? Well i redid my H2O cooling system... yah, it leaked cuz i was a freakin' idiot and didn't pressure test it before i put it in my case. There was no Pwr to the mobo though. Lucky that nothing else was in the case... (GeForce FX5700)

Let me know what you all think...
