Foxconn 955X7AA + intel d805 + OCZ26671024V 1GB = beeps

[zskalmar]

Hi,
I'm trying to put together the following pieces:

Foxconn 955X7AA-8EKRS2 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 955X ATX
Intel Pentium® D Processor 805
OCZ OCZ26671024V 1GB DDR2-667 PC2-5400

When I turn it on it gives 5s long repeated beeps.
The fans are all running.
I realized the d805 front bus speed is 533Mhz and the motherboard spec says it supports 1066/800MHz.
Could it be a problem or the memory ?
What am I missing here?

Thanks,
zsolt

Open you MB manual. Look up what 5 beeps mean. Problem isolated...

That CPU is not compatible with that board. Board requires CPU with at least 800MHz FSB.

I did the exact same thing and have the exact same problem, but I did do some reseach. According to this page:

http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US/service/DriverDetail.aspx?id=en-gb0001273&Pname=955X7AA-8EKRS2

our motherboard/cpu combination should work. Now if only there was a way to flash the bios on a machine that won't POST. I don't know what to do.
