My comp sucks

[Allen]

I can't see anywhere in the manual stating that it won't support 1.45v but I'm not sure that it does. Would it not just run it higher anyway? Don't I need it higher than 1.45v to get a decent speed from it?

No, thankfully! I would've seen it though, I had the case open when I first switched it on!

this has happened to me before and it was because i hadnt put my heatsink on properly my sk-7 has 4 sticky pads on the bottom 1 had moved from its original position and this caused the heatsink not to sit on the cpu properly as soon as i put the pad back it booted up ok
also you might have a dodgy cmos battery
but i think its either your heatsink or you have a faulty psu i dont think youve fried your new cpu

Ive read from the start of the thread, have u been home yet since the idea of the heatsink being wronly seated was made? just to know how u got on with that.

one thing that might have happened - ive never heard of it but its logical in my head - is that if the board isnt capable of putting out 1.45v, and still tried, perhaps that shafted something?

No, at work right now.

I'll be getting home at about 6ish, but can't say when I'll be back on the net coz of dinner and such... I will update you tonight though, whether it's done by me or Kat (over the phone).

print off this thread before you go.. might give you some ideas as to whats wrong even if it doesnt solve it directly. where d'ya live? someone nearby might be able to supply you with spares to test the setup?

[Allen]

Don't know of anyone on here living close by. I live near Heathrow. Ashford to be precise. Have no friends around here that are into computing that much. Good idea to print it off before I go though!

Im pretty sure that mobo dont support mobile chips, and will boot with a voltage of 1.65. Not really a problem, as you maybe able to lower it in the BIOS to 1.45

Check your heatsink and follow the advice given in this thread, there has been some really good posts . Well done guys

If it turns out to be your BIOS, i cant flash it for you. All i ask is that you pay postage both ways.

[Allen]

Cheers for the offer. And if it did need flashing then of course I would pay for it both ways!

[Zak33]

Agent dug me out of the cack when I ruined mine....

but mine did NOTHING....not even beep...nothing....dead. Soit deffo needed flashing at...

Agent is a pro flasher
