i need help installing a new p4 cpu!!

[andyroo]

I just bought a new soket 478 3.0ghz pentium 4 to replace my intel celeron d 2.4ghz. When i took it out and put in the new cpu, it only gets as far as the bios when i turn the comp on. I got a P4S800 motherboard. what do i need to do????

I see on ASUS home page your mainboard support Pentium 4 3 GHz on all BIOS versions and PCB versions so there is problem. Please try update BIOS :

If this not help so clear bios by jumper or battery and configure all switches on mainbord use manual.

If that not help and on Celeron is all OK so you have damaged Pentium 4 3 GHz

Write if you not understand something

probably clean/replace the fan, it may be inadequate

yay, thanx so much! i looked in the mobo manual and worked out how to clear the bios. As soon as i turned it on again it worked perfectly. Im surprised how much better the cpu is than the celeron!
thanx again!

Yeah I think too Pentium 4 3 GHz has really better performance than Celeron 2,4

Still I propose you to update bios - maybe there were more advantage
