Problems with Asus P4C800 Deluxe and Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz Prescott
I've just purchased the following components:
- Asus P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard - Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz Prescott Processor - 512 MB DDR400 ECC Ram (as one 512 MB stick), made completely by Infineon (no on 3rd) - 200 GB Seagate Barracuda S-ATA Harddisc - Sapphire Radeon x800 Pro 256 MB Graphics-Card ----this is all brand new! No used stuff----- Extra Info: By now I'm still using a GeForce Ti4600 Platinum Edition because the Radeon Card hasn't been delivered yet. My Power connection is 300W strong. This is my problem: I've build in all components I've purchased - except the new graphics-card. When I start my PC I just get a black screen and nothing happens (my old GeForce-Card works for sure!!!). The PC speaker does no beeps at all! (it's connected correctly to the motherboard!) I get just a vocal message by "ASUS POST Reporter": "System failed due to CPU over-clocking". I dunno why because I didn't over-clock anything! The CPU is build in correctly and still in the original status. The manual says that the mainboard supports the Prescott-Series and that it supports CPUs up to 3.2 GHz and my Processor is at 3.2 GHz! I dunno what to do! I've almost tried everything. I did clear the BIOS several times and it didn't work, I've checked if the CPU is build in correctly and if it's still OK (it's ok), I've de-installed everything from the mainboard except the graphics-card and the RAM (and the CPU of course ;) ) (I also tried it with all components (such like DVD-Burner, HDD.....) connected to the mainboard, but this didn't work either) Please help me, I really don't know what to do!!! greetings Lord Heru'ur |
I've found a sollution of the problem!
I just put my old CPU which is also a 478 socket on the mainboard and the system started well. Then I got myself a BIOS-update from the internet and overwrote the old one on the mainboard. After that I replaced the old CPU with my new 3.2 GHz and everything works fine! It was just the BIOS which was too old. |
