AMD64 2800 works with VIA chipset, not with NVIDIA(!)
Does anyone have any idea why the same cpu would work fine in a VIA chipset
socket 754 motherboard (ASUS) but not even get to POST in one using NVIDIA 250 (Gigabyte K8 Triton)? Just wondering, because the cpu in my new home-built computer apparently failed, took it to a local workshop who sent it back to the original supplier. Supplier said it worked and sent it back. Stuck it back in my PC (using the Gigabyte mb) and it didn't work. Put ASUS motherboard in for tests and it did work. It gets better... While my original cpu was away they stuck an AMD64 3000+ in for tests and it worked fine. So my NVIDIA-based mb won't work with the 2800 but will work with a 3000! WTF???!!! Has anyone come across this before and/or got any idea what's going on an what more I can try? BTW this is getting urgent; I bought it for some cfd (computational fluid dynamics) calculations that take 9-10 hours on my existing 600 MHz PIII system and my project is due in a few weeks. ta in advance!

Sounds like a bios issue, Try a different bios, or just get the 3000+. it can't be that much more. Don't be surprised if you don't get a lot of responses to this. Your follow-up group (alt.comp.hardware.amd) doesn't exist.:-) -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
