After installing a new 2.8 GHZ P4 my computer will not boot. All fans spin but no POST. Another interesting fact is that my CD-ROM will not power up either (works on my old 333mhz system though).
Reading around I've learned that the problem is either:
1)mother board
2)CPU
3)PSU
I have tried it with a brand new MB but no success, still no POST. Is it possible that my cheap 425watt PSU will not generate enough power for this new CPU (even though it successfully powered my 2GHZ celeron)?
Unfortunately, the pins on the older Celeron got bent so I cannot test with this.
What I have tried so far:
- reseating all devices (CPU, RAM, etc..)
- reseting CMOS
- made sure all jumpers are corectly set
- removing all devices except CPU and fans (no beep when RAM is removed)
- brand new mother board
