400watt noname psu

tried a diffirent graka, tried a pci graka
tried diffirent screens
switched some ram around
removed everything except for graka/ram/cpu
reseted cmos several times

no boot, no post, no nothing
everything fires up, but no screen

any suggestions?

Had the same thing as you with my P4 and tried the same things as you... my proc was dead... still waiting for rma :grum:

that sucks :s
lucky it's not my cpu :p

Let us know how it turns out.;)

shop's not open till tuesday
i'll keep u posted

The ondie A64 memory controller is pretty picky about which ram you use. Try another stick of ram before returning the processor, because incompatible ram would case the same kind of problems.

Depends actually, the CG steppings have far better memory compatibillity then the C0's.
All newcastles and late clawhammers have CG steppings

True, true, but the fact it's still more picky than the average Nforce2 board or i865/875 controller remains.

I'd guess ram too
try clearing cmos
and then give it another go

my friend apparently broke a pin of the cpu, en thus no warranty
he then simply bought a new one :p

still no post though, but the mobo is geving me a long beep.
no error codes in the manual however.
i'll check the msi forums later on.
