That should help a bit anyway. Does it beep? If so, is it the normal beep or a error code beep? If error code, then check to see if it sheds light on the problem. I would also unplug, give the connectors a good looking over then plug it back up. I'd do that for everything I could. It may also help to reset the BIOS too. There should be a jumper pretty close to the battery or just remove the battery for a little while, overnight maybe. It could be that it has some garbage or something in it from sitting on a shelf, shipping jiggle etc etc. The only other thing I can think of, does the BIOS version support that CPU? I have always wondered what would happen if you put a CPU on a mobo that the BIOS doesn't support but would with a newer BIOS. I *think* the BIOS version is on the box with the serial number and such. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
