My new XP 3200 do not boot my A7N8X-X

[tiagoclaus]

Hi guys. I need a little help here, since I could not find anything similar on google.

I have an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard, with Athlon Duron 1400 MHz. Based on recomendations, like those from CPU World, I bought an Athlon XP 3200 (AXDA3200DKV4E). I also changed the CPU cooler for a Zalman 80mm.

The problem is that when I put the XP 3200 on, the computer does not boot (blank screen, not even get to the bios). I change it back to Duron and it works fine. My BIOS version is 1010.

Any ideas?

I have not yet tested the XP 3200 on another computer.

Thanks a lot!

seems that the athlon is broken or you need a BIOS update..i had the same with a Sempron 2800+ it was recognized as a Athlon MP but after the update it worked fine

Since my bios says it has the lastest version, 1010, I have discarded this procedure. I know that for Sempron, you need the 1010 version.

But I will update it anyway and let you know.

Thanks for the reply.

Looks like a broken cpu...

Maybe try to reset CMOS settings.

I'd say it's the CPU..because when it works with Duron....

I have to agree with Soeren and Mixuer...
Sounds like a DEAD CPU...
I have had the same type of problem...with my FIRST 462/Duron combo.

Blank screen...no POST BIOS...and, oddly enough, my harddrive and even the USB port starting up, but, to no avail.

I have send both CPU and motherboard for repair and you were all right: the CPU was dead.

Physical damage on the core, actually. I am getting the replacement.

Thank you all for the help,
