(For lack of a better sub-forum) This issue was originally posted to the VIA support forums, but of course I got no effective response, as that appears to be the norm over there.
I recently purchased a Via C3 600mhz at my local computer store (in-box). When I popped it in my Intel GS810 system (weird OEM toaster-like flexATX creature) it powers up, but no POST. Interestingly enough, Via's website states several motherboard manufaturers that use the Intel 810 chipset which are compatible with the C3. Any conjectures as to why the beast wont boot? (The system was in working condition previously, I've checked to make sure everything is plugged in right, et cetera et cetera.
