ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
Hello, I would like someones opinion on an issue that I am having regarding this motherboard. I have installed all of my hardware. I installed the CPU, hooked up all the power lines as specified, and powered the machine up. As you may or may not know this motherboard comes with the post software which identifies problems as they arise with the motherboard. When I powered the machine on I get the message "system failed cpu test". The CPU is new in the box, and I dont know if it is bad or not? When I received the CPU it had some pins, about 6 on an outside row that were ever so slightly bent. I managed to straighten them out, and the CPU dropped right into the socket. Everything so far that I have done winds up with the same end result, and same message? I have installed Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G memory modules. One module in DIMMA1, and another in DIMMA2.
I removed the lithium battery to the CMOS, and changed the jumpers on the CLRTC in an attempt to clear the CMOS memory, and when I powered up the same result? I disconnected the motherboard from the case to make sure that nothing was shorting the board out from the back. Same result, same message. I properly appled the Artic Silver, and absolutely no spillover, and never even came close to the pins so I ruled that out right away. I really dont have any way of testing the CPU and I am wondering if I should just send it in to INTEL? Help
