I have just bought a new Pentium 4 3.2ghz LGA 775 processor to go in my Asus P5GDC-v deluxe but when I try to boot up nothing happens, no POST nothing. This is not a newly built PC and was working before now with a different processor.
I have searched for ages on the 'net for a compatibility list between the motherboard and CPU.
So can anyone point me to where I can find one or a least reassure me that this CPU should work with my mobo please?
Thanks
What is your chip's FSB?Quote:

Models 840 and 940 require a higher chipset than the 915G, models 640 and 641 should be ok.

No, it should POST at least.
Maybe clear CMOS?
It sounds like you may have zapped either your motherboard or processor. If you still have the old processor try putting it back on the MB and see if you get a post. If not that may signal that the MB is damaged.
word...try that...clearing the cmos should fix the problem...
