Problem with Athlon II X2 250

[nunezz]

Hey there. I have AMD Athlon II X2 250 but when I install it computer doesn't work. All the fans are working but there's no signal to monitor.. just black screen.
My motherboard is AsRock 880GM-LE FX with latest BIOS.
I am currently with FX 6100 and it's working fine. Any ideas ?

Best regards, Ivo.

Is it possible that the Athlon is just no good? Used?
Any pins broke off? Bend?

There's no broken/bended pins.. and yes the CPU is used but it's working fine on another computer. :/

Are you plugged into the on-board video or a graphic card? If you mistakenly plugged the monitor into the on-board video, there probably WILL be no display as long as there is a gfx card in the PCIe x16 slot. Double check that. It can happen.

I have only on-board video. Does this CPU need a PCI-e GPU ? Can it work with on-board video ?

Yes, it can work with the on-board video, just like your FX-6100.
If you get a display with the FX-6100, but not with the Athlon, all I can assume is that the Athlon is defective. What was the "other" computer the Athlon worked in?

Well I didn't paid attention at the "other" computer but it worked fine.. i saw it :/ When I got my mobo 880GM-LE FX and plugged FX-6100 it was the same thing.. no signal to monitor.. but after 1-2 restarts it worked... but Athlon II X2 250 doesn't work.. dafuq is happening 😀

Wait. Even your FX-6100 had problems at first with the Asrock board? Now it sounds like there is an issue with the motherboard. Was the board used too?

 

[nunezz]

Yup. But FX-6100 did this problem only once.. now its working fine no matter how many times I'll unplug and plug it again..

Well obviously this CPU is bad.. just close this thread..I wanna thank to all who tried to help me.
