Dead CPU?

Fred_G · 05-December-05, 11:31 PM

I got 2 CPU's for free a while back, an Athlon 1600 and 2200. I have had the 1600 on one of my folding rigs, and tried to put in the 2200, no luck. It would boot into windows, and lock up when I started the folding program.

Since this is just a folder, I tried a format, XP reinstall, twice, shortly after the cd key entry, I would get a screen saying windows shut down to prevent damage... The 1600 CPU is past that point now, looks like a succesfull install.

So before I make this a keychain or anything, do any of you have any ideas beyond a dead CPU?

PSU Antec 350 watt
1x512 Corsair XMS
Nice copper Thermalright heatsink (cools a 2500 Barton O/C to 2.3GHz or so)
PCChips M851G V1.5 mobo.
onboard sound and video.

Yeay, the mobo is junk, but it is just what I could afford for a folding computer.

Well, If any of you have any ideas on getting the 2200 running, bring them! Otherwise, I think it is toast.

Thanks for your time.

No, that is the only thing I have to try it in, except for another PCChips board with no onboard video, and to keep you from passing me, I cannot let my 2 main folders go down for that long!!

I did make sure the BUS was at 133, stock for a 2200.

Thanks

PCChips boards just need some tender loving to get them to play nice.

hmm probaby it's the mobo?

kardiacc · 06-December-05, 05:10 PM

does the mobo officially support that chip, and are you running the latest bios?

I would try resetting the BIOS. Also, see if a newer BIOS is available for flashing.

They both use a diff voltage so try and reset or flash the bios! Did you overclock that 1600 any? The 1600 take alot less voltage to run then the 2200+ so maybe theres not enough voltage is what im trying to say! Check that out... Clear the cmos frist

Thanks for all the help! I will try to answer the questions now.

CMOS was cleared each time I swapped CPU's.

The board is suppossed to support all Durons/Athlons.

I have not flashed the BIOS, that is my next step. I will try that tonight or tomorow and let you know if it helped.

Thanks again for your help!
