Failure to boot when installing new CPU.
removing the battery is not the way to clear the cmos, it is a shortcut
around the proper way. Shorting the jumper (when provided) is the only way this should be done or did you do it this way? Your post was a little unclear. Heck some people aren't even unplugging the ATX PSU while pulling the battery. Does the board support the new CPU speed with the current bios? Is the board set to auto detect the CPU speed? Auto set FSB? "Eric Bouchard" wrote in message .. . I hope someone can help me out with that one. First, this is my PC Setup: Antec TruePower 330 Watts Asus A7N8X (PCB 2.0) CD-ROM & CD-RW 1x 512 Megs 333Mhz DDR Ram ATI Radeon 9500 Pro GCVL Internal ADSL Modem 40 Megs ATA/133 HD. Here is what happens: I have an old XP 1700+ and just bought a new 2700+. When I install the 2700+, I get a black screen. You see that the computer recognize the CD-Roms and HD, but won't go on and no beeps. When I put back my old 1700+ in, it works just fine. We tried reset the CMOS, remove the battery, double-checked every jumpers to see if all was ok, and it was. Does anyone have an idea on what direction we should take to see what could be the problem? Thanks for your help. Eric B. |

You did not mention re-setting the BIOS and letting it find the new CPU.

Your post was a little unclear. Heck some people aren't even unplugging the ATX PSU while pulling the battery. We did use the jumper to clear the CMOS. I am not sure that is the problem actually. Does the board support the new CPU speed with the current bios? Is the board set to auto detect the CPU speed? Auto set FSB? Yop. All the jumpers were properly set and the board is supposed to auto detect the CPU. However, would it be possible that the problem is caused by a power shortage? Would a 330 Watts PSU be able to power up the system? Eric B. |

(Hope you made sure heatsink and fan were properly installed, it will burn out in less then a second) Rob Eric B. |

I was asking for the PSU because when I opened Motherboard Monitor, this is what I have as far as power goes: +3.3 = 3.27 Avg +5.0 = 4.95 Avg +12.0 = 11.37 Avg Just thought It seemed tight and It could explain why it didn't work. Eric B. The 12V reading should not be that low. It could be helpful to use a multimeter to check the 12V reading on a power supply plug. If it's still low, unplug all external devices (like case fans and CDROM, HDD, etc) then power-up system, recheck 12V level again with multimeter, and compare to the BIOS reading for 12V). Dave |

Just wanted to report back on my problem, in case
I brought the computer back to the store and it was determined that, this particular motherboard had a defect that prevented it to work with a 2700+, but was just working fine with the 1700+. Since the board was under warranty, they replaced it. Thanks for all your help. It was appreciated. Eric B. |
