Wow!
Haven't seen anybody use the term Microprocessor, for a long time.
How about CPU instead? Shorter, easier to type, carries a certain 'savior faire' to it; and will help teach people not to use it to mean PC. Personal Computer.
(Central Processing Unit. Microprocessor is another term used, or simply Processor for short )
I'm going to assume you are following Anti-Static Procedures.
If not the CPU's you have touched, are now key chain fobs.
(Drill a hole through them for the chain, lol!)
Have to go through the basics. It isn't an insult to your intelligence, I just need to go through a diagnostic flowchart in my mind.
CPU installed the correct way? Aligned correctly?
With the LGA 775 processor socket, the CPU can be turned, and installed wrong,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Thttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CPU_Socket_775_T.jpgThat little alignment 't1t' can get crushed.
What CPU did you install?
Do you know if it is supported?
The motherboard chipset is an Intel E7230,
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/server-chipsets/server-chipset-e7230.htmlSupports;
A) Dual-Core CPU's
B)Front Side Bus support of either 800MegaHertz, or 1066MHz
(800MHz / 1066MHz FSB)
C) Hyperthreading Technology (HT)
However, depending on the CPU, you may need to perform a BIOS update.
With the old CPU going out, and now the new CPU doesn't work, I would suggest going back to the start of the diagnosis, and look into the Power Supply.
The Power Supply is the FIRST thing to look at, when diagnosing a desktop computer. Server notwithstanding.
A Power Supply with a weak voltage power rail, will emulate all sorts of software problems, and hardware problems.
Have a multimeter to use to test the 3 main voltage power rails?
(3.3 Volts DC, 5 Volts DC, and 12 Volts DC)
Or;
Have a KNOWN to be good, Compatible power supply, you can borrow for a temporary test unit?
Post back in a Comment.
