|
|
Hello and thank you in advance for your time,
PC - HP a1100y
OS - XP Pro sp2
MB - Asus Grafito
Installed CPU - Celeron D 336 2.8ghz
Attempted upgrade - Pentium IIII 650 3.4ghz
Did this one by the book and very carefully but after installing new cpu I get nothing but the heatsink fan running.
I ordered the Pentium from StarMicro.com with an extended warranty but thought I'd troubleshoot before I threw a fit.
I tried everything I could think of including resetting the Cmos but it just wont boot. I popped the Celeron D back in and it fired right back up.
The product specs page from HP says that this MB will take the following:
Intel Pentium IIII
Intel w/HT technology
Celeron D
I simply wanted to speed things up a tad (already added 2gigs ram, switched both HDDs to SATA, etc.) am I missing something here?
Again,
Thank you |

Thank you for the reply,
I flashed that one back last year. Bios confirms that it is current version.
Any ideas? |

Just a quick update:
The problem was StarMicro.com - they sell refurbished, old, used, faulty and even dirty parts as "new".
I will learn from this burn.
The Pentium 4 650 I have just installed works fine.
Thank you so much for all of your help and time.
Still an awesome forum. |

Hello,
Did you check the FSB speed for 533mhz or 400mhz you wanted to replace? |
