New Duron 1.3 wont boot at all

[BodwadUK]

When i put the new duron 1.3 into my pc and boot it, nothing happens

the hard drive light comes on, the power light goes off and no monitor output is visible. I put my 700mhz back in and its fine

I have a GB 71XE4 with flash version 9.

Anyone had this problem before???

I know the board supports this chip and i have seen something about clear CMOS jumper but what would that do???

I am thinking of sending the chip back for replacement, could it be a faulty chip???

Make sure the processor connected firmly (dont crack your MB, though )

Do you have another computer to try it in?

It was definetly in firmly i undid it about 3 times and replaced it.

I do have another i could theoretically test it in but it is my bro's and its expensive so i really really dont want to damage it.



P.S i tried the CMOS jumper and that didnt work either

well, if you cant test it in another computer then i would take it back but it sounds to me that processor isnt connected.
(i troubleshooted my computer for hours and then i pushed down everything to make sure it was connected right and it worked when i pushed the processor down but man did i press it hard. Because i was kinda mad. it was doing the same thing you described) The signs could also mean that the processor is bad, so take it back and if the computer store is nice enough they might even test it for you

Maybe it is a jumper-setting ypui have to make on the MB, or you need a bios upgrade

I've searched and Here you can read it supports up to 1GHz. So that migtht be the prob

Is the 700Mhz Duron a 100Mhz FSB????

Maybe its the jumper

I have found many manuals detailing that it can take a 1.3 GHz processor

Supported
