Ok, I was building a little computer for my brother using old parts. I have an old Asus Motherboard and a 2.4 ghz celeron.
I Plug it all up, and nothing comes on the screen, nothing. So it doesnt boot up, cant install XP. Doesnt do the normal check.
I would think its the motherboard, but could it also be the processor?
have you got another mobo to test the processor in another mobo if it isnt that then yes it must be the mobo, also try another psu could be that.

Any lights on the mobo come on? Any fans turning, HDD's whirring? Any sign of life at all?

Mobo light comes on. Processor fan comes on, HDDs dont make any noise, neither does the floppy drive. The CD drive lights come on.
No beeps.
The screen is just blank, like theres no signal to the monitor.
do the leds on the front of the case come on.

Nope, no LEDS on the front of the case come on
tbh the best thing to do is test the cpu in another mobo , if it works it really is only down to the mobo.

Alright, gonna test the cpu in my mobo, ill let you guys know in a lil while.
OK! I switched the processor in my system(P4 2.8ghz), with the processor in my brothers system (Intel Celeron 2.4ghz).
This is what happened.
When I turned on my brothers computer with my P4 processor, everything began to work.
When I turned on my computer with my brothers Celeron Processor, everything worked, in fact im using it right now.
So my brothers motherboard, and processor work fine, just not when they are together....
But i read my brothers motherboard manual, and the celeron SHOULD work with it, so what the hell is wrong? Do i need to flick on some switch on my bros motherboard?
You know what.....I just read the online manual, and it doesnt say anywhere that it supports celeron processor.....I feel stupid.

Anyone want a 2.4ghz celeron processor?
Or an ASUS motherboard?
ARHH!!!!! Im going insane, it DOES support celeron....Says so on the site!

What should I do??
I was about to order a new mobo, but it does say it supports the celeron processer

If you have not tried it yet, try a bios reset via the jumper on the M/board.Originally Posted by DeludedGuy
Never done that before, how do I go about doing that?
If you have the manual for the M/board this will tell you the procedure, but usually it is a jumper on the M/board named JBAT1 and the procedure is, to if you have the computer running, shut down, remove power supply socket from rear of computer, remove the JBAT1 jumper for about 5 seconds then replace it in the original position, connect your power supply and boot up, and this resets the computer to default values. You will have to reset the time and date in the bios after you reboot.
Sometimes it works in most cases but is worth a try.
