I recently got a new processor and a stick of 4GB DDR3 RAM to replace my old Athlon 64 X2 processor and 2GB DDR2 RAM. However, when I powered on my computer, it wouldn't POST, and gave no beeps. I'm hoping that the CPU isn't defective, but it seems like something about it isn't functioning properly.
Putting my old CPU back in made it boot up just fine. I used my DDR2 and DDR3 RAM with it, and received the same results. Clearing CMOS and updating the BIOS didn't work either. Swapping out the 4100 for my old CPU made it boot just fine. The 4100 still gives off heat, but I don't know if that means anything.
Unfortunately I don't have any other computers that could fit this processor for testing.
Specs:
ASRock N68C-GS FX Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
2GB DDR2-800 RAM
Zotac Nvidia GeForce GT 440
Chiefmax 650W power supply
I'd appreciate any insight to perhaps find a solution that I didn't think of.
