My old motherboard well and truly died, but I was hoping to avoid shelling out the $ for a new processor as well as mobo, so I got a Syntax K7SV266AD board, with a stick of 512MB PC2100 RAM to go with. It says it supports up to Athalon 2400+ processors. Is there something I'm missing as far as compatibility with the Athalon 900 goes?
The reason I ask is I had a horrid no signal problem, which finally seems to have been resolved by reseating the processor. The system worked fine yesterday, but (with nothing changed overnight, unless by gremlins) got no signal today. Could this be a sign of incompatibility? Will I have to get a new processor after all?
Thanks for any help/ideas.
