I think your going too technical. You need to verify what works, then you can isolate what to look at. Lots of things can happen but if you have a processor without a heatsink you have about 90 seconds before you do irreprible harm. 10 seconds for danger zone. That's with a duron 1.2ghz. If your not into extra parts I suggest taking out the CMOS coin battery and letting it sit for days. Come back and flash the CMOS again if no post. Good luck CPU! |

Crap, I read it again..... I don't trust your new CPU. I've burned CPUs before. They tend to be the first to go |

1- check caps for bursting. 2- single CPU always goes in slot 0. 3- cycle ram in pairs in lowest memory location if duel socket 4-dont have CD, HDD or non essential components connected at any time. 5-cmos jumper is your friend 6-verify parts when possible 7- look for damage 8- 750w sounds new, board sound old. Verify correct power supply pinout. 9-use different PSU power cable.... Seriously I've seen this... Perhaps more when I'm sober.... |

The MOS has 3 pins. Gate, source, drain. Do you know how to use a multimeter? If you do, then you have to put the multimeter between the gate(+, red wire) and source(-, black wire) and select the proper option on the multimeter. What are the option that you have? Do you have a connection option which beeps when there is a connection? |

How unusual. Leaving all power disconnected(include motherboard battery) for up to two weeks and Lan Party motherboard comes back to life and stay alive ?! and changing the cmos battery to a Energizer battery works too. I never got a dead motherboard to work :o |
