| 375244 | 2005-07-25 08:58:00 | I brought a AMD anthlon xp 2600+ brand new and put it in my motherboard which is a VIA KM400 from the KM4M series I put the CPU in and the comp. started the fan whirls and thats it. It doesnt load anything or make the clicking noise that it makes and it doesnt beep when it starts up either I am an amateur at this and added new motherboard and CPU myself and Thought that it might be the CPU and also on the box it says Xtreme performance for windoes XP but on my hard drive I have Win 2000 does this matter? | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 375245 | 2005-07-25 09:04:00 | I think it means you'll get better performance using XP. If the mobo has a 4 pin atx connection, did u plug the PSU connection into it?? |

| 375247 | 2005-07-25 09:16:00 | Well it wouldnt know whether 2k or XP is installed YET. Since it doesnt even boot. Have you actually used Windows 2000 / or been able to boot into 2000? And did u do a clean install of 2000?? Or change the mobo while 2000 was still on the hard drive?? |

This usually applies only to Intel chipped mobos, however if you have this connection, make sure its connected. The main issue with mobos are the jumper settings, read the motherboard manual thoroughly and set the jumpers as you are reading through the manual. Connect only the bare necessities to the motherboard initially (graphics card, keyboard, CPU, RAM). See if it boots up then Hopefully it will take you into BIOS. If not, let us know |

| 375250 | 2005-07-25 10:03:00 | 2k was already installed on comp. so it seems that XP gives better performance but can run on 2K. Umm the power supply I can't find but if the supply is to high or could it fry the CPU. If its too low would this result in not loading properly??? would it be best 2 take it in and get it done professionally?!?!?!? cheers | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 375251 | 2005-07-25 10:11:00 | powersuplys normally have the wattage and brand names written on them. if you are replaceing athe motherboard what was the old motherboard and cpu? it may be quicker to get a pro to fix it. if you mention what town/city you are in mayby someone can recommend a repairer. |

| 375252 | 2005-07-25 10:12:00 | If you can't identify the power supply you're probably better off getting a technician to check it for you. It's bound to be something really basic, so shouldn't cost much foe a quick check. | Greg (193) | ||
| 375253 | 2005-07-25 10:19:00 | shouldn't it still give some series of beeps if it was dodgy installation of processor or some other bad part? The fact that it does nothing at all apart from get power to the fans would make me a tad worried | kwyjibo (7195) | ||
