Solve : Hardware compatibility??

Answer»

O.K so I was getting my son a new computer for his birthday and I went to power it up and nothing comes to the monitor.  I've tried swapping out the parts I could and when I replaced the amd phenom BLACK edition 9850  with an OLDER amd athlon 5200+ dual core it works fine.  The MOTHERBOARD I'm USING, from what I've read on it, is an EGS geforce6100sm-mv:1.0 ht2000.
Is this motherboard not going to support an AM2+ socket proccessor like the amd phenom black edition?  I know the amd 5200 is only am2 but I was under the impression that the only difference between am2 and am2+ was hypertransport 2.0 and 3.0.  If you need any more information I forgot to post tell me.ECS 6100SM-M ....   $55 no phenom support

ECS 6100PM-M2 .... $85 phenom support

E Bay under computers, type in ECS. scroll down to ecs6100 [has spec sheet] hope that helps?Alright so mine is the mv:1.0 not the mv:2.0
thanks a bunch mates.
My son will appreciate having a working computer.
