are you able to enter bios?
press del on bootup?
if so, just change the fsb (sometimes called cpu internal frequency to 133MHz) and see if it'll start normally

I cannot enter the BIOS with the 2600 installed, but I can with the 1600
I couldn't find fsb or cpu internal frequency, but in the Frequency/Voltage section there was CPU CLOCK option that was set to 133. I am assuming that is what I was looking for.

where did you get the new cpu from?
it's possible that it's simply a dud cpu...
with the 2600 installed, does the system try to post even? are there any beeps at all?

nope, just a ussual clicks and clacks of stuff starting for a few seconds and then nothing.
I ordered the CPU through www.target_usa.com.
I am currently having billing problems through them as well. They are, by far, the worse company I have ever ordered anything through. But then again...this is my first bad experience.

I am pretty sure it's a dud, I'm getting a full refund....unless someone else has something else I should try.

That's the first thing that you should try.Originally posted by dwightfry@16 September 2003 - 22:01

Hey, I got it to work, but it was suppose to run at 2.4 GHz, but it was only running at 2.0 GHz
I turned up the CPU Clock to 110 which gave me a 2.2 GHz, but I can't log onto windows at anything over 114.
The Multiplier is set to default (12.5) but when I change it to any amount it decreases the speed drastically. I set it to 14, and the speed went down to 1.7 GHz. Why would the speed go down when I increase the multiplier?
Also, I have not 'unlocked' my CPU. I was told this morning that I shouldn't have to. Do I need to in order to get better speeds? Things seem to be working with out doing with out it.

Also, I can't adjust the FSB. It is set to 200 MHz. What do I need to change so I can adjust it.

I don't think you've set up your motherboard right, the athlon 2600 is supposed to run at 2.1 GHz ie a 166MHz Front side bus with a x12.5 multiplier. why is it supposed to run at 2.4GHz????
