I just recieved a Athlon 2600 CPU, I put it in my computer, and now the computer won't start. The fans run, and the CD/DVD drives start up, but nothing shows up. I put in my old CPU and it worked fine again. Is there anything that I must do to get this to work, or is it just a bad CPU.

Is your new CPU a 333 front side bus?
Does your motherboard support 333 FSB?

How do I flash my Bios?
I can't remember the exact model of my motherboard, but a friend of mine who builds computers for a living is the one that showed me what CPU to get, so I am 99% sure it is compatable.

Well there is no way for us to help you flash the BIOS if you don't know the motherboard model.
Once you find out... Go to the manufactures web site and find your exact model listed and that is where you will find the file and instructions on how to flash it.
u did the worst thing to do, buying new parts for your computer without knowing your hardware.not to put you down but you shoudl have did more research before anything.

I didn't know my hardware, but this guy did. He is the one that built it. I'll get the model ASAP.

just an extra bit of info, the 2600+ is a 333MHz fsb chip, however, you can run it at 266MHz fsb if your board doesn't support 333MHz fsb's

I used that file, and it intalled fine. No errors, I then put the 2600 CPU back in, and it still didn't work.
Should this fix it. How do I do it?just an extra bit of info, the 2600+ is a 333MHz fsb chip, however, you can run it at 266MHz fsb if your board doesn't support 333MHz fsb's
