Solve : Installing a new processor? |
|
Answer» I'm having problems after installing a new processor. The spec is exactly the same as the previous one but when I switch on logon only goes to the grey boot up screen and then the power switches off. Once it has gone as FAR as the windows screen but again then the power switched off. Any ideas please??? What kind of "mystery processor" is this? Is the heat sink and fan properly applied with a little compound? What happened to the original processor that it had to be replaced? A little INFO would be helpful.The previous processor was damaged in transit. The heatsink and fan came complete with the new processor so no compound has been used. The processor is an Intel Cerleron D325, 2.53GHz 533FSBWere all of the pins intact when the damaged processor was removed? Were there any installation difficulties? Is the FSB SET correctly? Are theere any other jumpers on the MOTHERBOARD that NEED to be set? What kind of motherboard is it? Are we sure the PSU is good?Sorry your going to have to be less technical with me!!! The pins were intact on the previous processor, no aparent installation difficulties with the new one. Dont know what you mean when you say is the FSB set correctly or any other jumpers that need to be set? The motherboard is a Micro ATX. How would I check if the PSU is ok?rLess technical - Micro ATX is not a specific motherboard, it is a class of motherboards. If you tell us the manufacturer and model # of your motherboard, we can tell you where to get information on properly setting it up for your new processor (if it's available) or tell you how to do it from our own experience or knowledge base. If you won't/can't tell us, then we can still suggest possibilities, but that would take guesswork and much longer to solve your problem. Your original processor was damaged in transit? How was this determined? Was it part of the motherboard when this happened? Did the processor and motherboard ever work properly? Are you certain that the motherboard is undamaged? DellNobody.......would undertake this task unless they new what they were doing.....? Very strange...?It is a Columbia VP (GA-8SIML-NF7 motherboard. The damage to the processor was done when I sent the PC to France via a carrier to my friend. A repair shop has said that it is the proce4ssor that is damaged but did not mention the motherboard. Prior to be been shipped to France there was no problems at all with the function of the PC. |
