AMD Socket A Athlon 1.3 Changing Mobo ???

[Virtualbody1234]

Again. How do you know it's the motherboard that's at fault? Maybe the CPU, power supply or other part is dead.

About the DIP switch... Auto should work with the Duron. No need to set manually.

Dont think its a Duron ??? not too sure all i know is that its AMD Athlon 1.3 Ghz not the XP Athlon.

Well the guy who had pc before said he fudged up the mobo the guy who wants pc reparing said he wanted a new board n e ways so no harm in buying a new one. I am surein the manual for the new board it says only set SW1 to auto if over 1800mhz

Sorry about the Athlon/Duron mixup. There were so few Athlon 1.3.

Anyway the board supports the 1.3 Athlon: http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard...600%201394.htm

You're right. Page 10 of the manual says:

You must set SW1 to 100MHz when you used FSB 200MHz CPU.

Manual here.

Ah right so was right just wanted to check thanks alot

[Josh]

Ok ok i changed the mobo, graphics, memory, hard drive, case, new fans, new PSU and still blank screen on a start up whats going on n e ideas i tried unplugging everything and starrting up and just the same aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh plz help

[Virtualbody1234]

What's to only thing left? The CPU? Anything else I might have forgotten? What else is left over from the old system?

Monitor perhaps?

[Josh]

I could try another monitor if i had one i am using the one i have on my current system and its worj fine but get no response from montor when plugged into AMD system ?????????? i really dont know what to do, could the CPU cause this wouldnt the Mobo start up for BIOS

[Virtualbody1234]

If the CPU is dead then nothing can run. The BIOS cannot run without a CPU.

[Josh]

so could that explain the problem its the CPU so need to replace that now and if that aint the problem well im lost

Now lets talk CPU AMD Socket A for this motherboard what can i use

i can get Athlon XP Barton or Sempron (if that works with the mobo) i dont want n e thing really speedy i have 1.3ghz so n e thing just above that what could i get

thats where i would be buying from

I'd go with one of these if the mobo can handle it, and if it allows for you to set your fsb and multiplier manually.

I've got the top one, and it's my most favourite processor ever.
