computer won't start!
hello! i am new to google groups and i hope that someone can help me
out here. i recently purchased a new processor from Newegg. It's the amd 64 x2 4400 toledo. i was hoping that i could just replace it with my older processor, an amd 64 3200 venice (which is currently oc'd from 2.0ghz to 2.3ghz). After replacing the processor, the computer would power on for a split second and then die. i reset the cmos and tried it again but to no avail. I thought i blew something out so i put the old proc back in and here i am now typing up this issue. the specs of my computer are MSI K8N nForce4 mobo 2x 512mb corsair ram geforce 6600 GT Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Orion 420W PSU 2 harddrives Could it be that the processor is DOA? Any help is appreciated! |

Have you got the most recent bios for that board, so that it can support a
dual core chip? |

Yep I've just done the same 4 hours ago. I'm typing now using it. Didn't help my typing none though. Eric -- Remove the dross to contact me directly |

You should have at least a $20 generic PSU for a Dual core Processor.
