I recently purchased an Intel Celeron D 325 CPU and a MSI 865G NEO2-PLS motherboard. After putting everything together for a new system with this motherbord and CPU, the system wont post. When the power is cut on all of the fans spin, lights turn on, I get one short beep, but nothing else happens.
I've tried disconnecting additional drives and booting with the most minimal hardware possible, but I still get the same result. I've tried clearing the CMOS settings and have gotten the same result.
Although I realize that this motherboard has P4 written all over it, i've seen it listed as being compatable with Celeron processors also. It's also listed as being compatable with Intel based Prescott processors (which this Celeron D is).
Is this still possibly a compatability issue between the processor and motherboard? If so, is there a solution such as updating the BIOS to support this particular processor?
Also, i've been trying this with 1 to 2 sticks of Ultra 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM.
Thanks in advance.

Unless somehow one of the cables for the particular plug isn't receving the proper power, which doesn't seem too logical, but i'm at the point where I wont rule anything out.
