About a month ago I purchased a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM motherboard and
a AMD64 3200+ processor with the Venice core. I have never built a
system before and I was excited to build one from scratch that would
be good for gaming. I have not gotten my system to work once. I
installed the motherboard as the directions showed, as well as the
processor. When I boot the system up, I get four red LEDs on the
diagnostic plug in. According to the manual, that means that
processor is not properly installed or damaged!!! I have tried
reseating, but that does not matter. I sent my mobo in for warranty
and the new one does the same thing. I have seen posts that say you
need to remove the lock on the lock arm "works great on new gigabyte
939 mobos. Just make sure that you disable the lock on the locking
arm. If it isnt turning eaily stop and check. Dont push too hard and
break it." What does this mean?? I have also seen that it might be a
power supply issue and it might be a BIOS issue. Is there a way to
narrow down the problem? I would greatly appreciate any help.
