After installing the chip I turned on the CPU. Nothing loaded not even the bios. Now from what I know normally the bios would beep if the chip is bad or any other components in my system hardware. I tried blowing on the pins to make sure there was connection, yet that did nothing. Im wondering if you guys have had any experience like this with installing cpu's. I have installed CPU's before and never ran into this problem. And again my motherboard does support pentium 4 and hyperthreading technology. Also I have a 480 watt powersupply so im sure its not that either. |
I am willing to bet that you didnt clear your overclocked settings from your bios.
Solution = clear cmos as already stated in thread.
