my suggestion is from this page download and update your bios at the latest version available, from the same page download your manual and control on your motherboard if all jumpers are setted on jumper free mode (so the bios detect automatically the right CPU's settings FSB/Multipler)
use a good heathsink/fan and a bit of thermal paste when installing the new CPU and then enjoy it.

I'm sorry in advance if I making some stupid questions but I would be sure all settings are right

are you sure your new CPU work?
if you return at your old 1400 it works?
are you sure you flashed the bios in the right mode?
can you access at the bios?
when you power on the PC do you hear the hard disk work?
on the board are you sure the Overclocking Jumper Setting ( JFSB ) is OPEN (133 MHz)?
on the board are you sure the CPU Bus Ratio Selection ( JFID ) is CLOSED ?
on the board are you sure the CPU Core Voltage Selection ( JVID ) is OPEN ?

if all is OK try to clear the CMOS with the appropriate jumper on the motherboard (remember to unplug the AC power supply first).

try to reconnect the monitor cable

now it must work!!

but if it don't work may be your motherboard don't support the Thoroughbred core CPU's (like your) but only Palomino core CPU's (I'm not sure of this)

first of all your questions are not stupid the opposite i am sure that the jumpers are in the correct setting i had cleared the CMOS i tried the monitor cable and it works ok and i am sure that i flashed the bios correct and i can hear the hard drive the only thing is that i cannot access the bios settings since my monitor is black i have a second pc and i am sure about that the monitor is ok now i will flash the bios again to be 100% sure from the site you gave me aa one thing when i put the old cpu the 1.4 athlon now the motherboard is beebing this is the first time which happens because i have installed this cpu 2 times before without problem i hope that i will fix this because now the pc is useless i will try again and i will inform you thanks alot for your time my friend
