Mobo specs

[linseed]

I have a PC that makes no beeps on startup and I have no video. I am thinking the CPU is damaged because the fan wasn't working. I replaced the fan and when I turn it on I still have no beeps and no video. I am trying to startup with no HD, CD, RAM, still the same (fans are working ok). So I am thinking the CPU, but I need the model of the mobo to see how I can replace it. On the mobo I only hace 15-P44-011131 and on top of this there is a V:1.1 C. I already googoled this number but I come with no model.

You need to have RAM in the board to get the board to post. Make sure that you have all the power connections (including the ATX 12V and additional graphic card power if needed) seated firmly.

Your CPU should have shut down if it reached its thermal limit, so hopefully is not damages.

OK Installed RAM. Still no video and no beeps. If the CPU is fried I have to try with a new one, but I don't know whas CPUs my mobo supports. How do I find out my mobo model?

What processor is in it now? That will give you a pretty good clue. Some of cheap generic boards don't give you much information -- what brand does the case say, or was this an old generic board used in a self build?

It has a AMD Sempron. Additional Info on the proc: SDA3000AIO2BX / LFBAE 0651PKW / K24148A70516. This is a computer that was bought from a person who builds computers so I have no information and he didn't give any manuals or documentation. This was quite a while ago so I can't contact him any more, which means I'm stuck with watever I can find out on my own. Does this help?

 

[RealBeast]

Yes, your CPU is the OEM version of THIS processor. Looks like a fairly inexpensive REPLACEMENT is available if you feel pretty sure that the issue is the CPU.

Yes... the problem is if I don't find this exact CPU is there any other that my mobo will support? This is why I wanted to find the model of my mobo to see which CPU it will support.

 

[RealBeast]

Right, but that is the exact same CPU.

It will be difficult to identify the exact motherboard and find the cpu compatibility list as this is a pretty old build, plus there probably is not a lot of room for cpu improvement with the old board.

I am thinking on buying a used one on ebay or something like that. What should I look for? Just AMD Sempron? Or is there something else I should look for? I don't know what all the other codes on the proc. mean. I really don't care if I can make an improvement, I just don't want to discard all the rest of the components alltogether if I can make it work for a few bucks and have it as an extra computer.

Look for it by model number: SDA3000AIO2BX
