If it is not the original CPU that was on the board maybe the board's jumpers or BIOS needs to be addressed to the CPU's speed and multiplier...

Hey, I was telling a coworker about my daughters old pc's slow death. He told me he had an old m/b and CPU lying around and would give it to me. So he gives me the following: Asus A7N8X Deluxe M/B 450W P/S 2-256MB PC2700 RAM AMD CPU (can't remember which one and it is already in the machine with a heat sink on it) I have put into a new case with an older AGP graphics card. I hooked it up and powered it up and nothing. Well, the fans and drives power up. The AGP card light stays off (apparently it is read if there's an issue with the graphics card. I swapped the graphics card out with 2 other older cards I had laying around. I took out the CPU and reseated it. I reseated the RAM a couple of times. Once in a while, I get one single (fairly short) post code. Most of the time, I get no beeps. Any ideas what might I might do next? My guess is that it may be the CPU that's toasted. Thanks, Bobby
