Replaced CPU, only PSU runs. Fried Mobo?

[darkstuarez]

Just replaced a fried CPU. Still won't work, the power supply runs, the keyboard lights turn on, the pwr and cd rom leds turn on, but nothing else.

Mobo: MSI K7T266 Pro2-U
CPU: AMD Athlon 2200 1.8ghz
PSU: Codegen 350W Switching Power Supply
RAM: 512mb OCSystem DDR PC2700 CL2 Overclocked
Video: GeForce4 440 64mb

Fried mobo?

Yes, I`m afraid it looks that way to me.

K, I'm looking at this mobo, it's close to the same as mine, but the IDE slots are in a different spot, mine has 6 PCI slots whereas this new one has one exchanged for a smaller brown slot. This new one also has one more RAM slot than mine.

I'm thinking it'll work fine, just want to clarify.

What is the model number of the mobo you`re looking at?

Just be aware, that the chances are, you`ll end up having to format and reinstall Windows, unless you get exactly the same mobo. That`s because your hard drive will contain all the drivers and hardware info from your old mobo and probably won`t work with the new mobo.

Looks like it might work ok, even with your hard drive as it is, but only time will tell.

The brown slot is an AGP graphics card slot.

Thanks again, you're really helpful.

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Just noticed you`ve found your exact model.

I think it`d probably be better to go with that. You shouldn`t have any problems then with your current Windows set up.
