Got a new processor, flashed the BIOS, inserted the processor and booted it up. Far out it recognized it. Everything looks good. Screen says to enter CMOS and save. Well I entered the CMOS and exited without saving. Now when I boot it up I get nothing. Black screen, no POST, no beeps, jack shit. I tried to clear the CMOS with the jumper setting but no dice. So did I fuck up royally or what? Any thoughts?
I should probably wait 'til the real experts show up, but…I’d doubt it. If resetting via the jumper didn’t help, I wouldn’t think it’s related to what you did. Did you make sure the RAM didn’t come un-seated? Sounds like it might be RAM related.
Naturally, I could be mistaken, but I wouldn’t worry too much yet.
I unplugged the computer’s power and unattached the power supply cord to the motherboard. I set the CMOS reset jumper and left it for the day. I came back and reset everything and it fired right up. I guess I needed more time for all the power to dissipate from the board. Thanks for the suggestions.
