Got a new CPU..... Same result's??????? What the fuck? Any advice much apreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok when a pc has problems posting it would let you know by a series of beeps from the PC-Speaker. make sure the speaker cable is connected the right way, if in doubt reverse the speaker plug on the motherboard. secondly, make sure you havent got the PCI-Express 8-pin connector in your CPU socket. My means of a design flaw they are identical slots and can be inserted incorrectly, so make sure the EPS-8Pin is connected into the CPU socket and not the pci
The problem seems clear to me. Two different motherboards, same power supply. Same result. Defective power supply. Remember that power supply testers dont usually do load tests and a common problem with power supplies that test good but dont work is the overload circuit or heat limiter. They work fine with no load, but the minit the system needs power they fail because the load is greater than the PSU can handle.
