From: Flame on 28 Aug 2005 01:08 P4P800-E Deluxe - "System Fail CPU Test" REV 1.02 BIOS 1007 350W PSU ATI 9800 PRO AIW 2x512 MB PC3200 DVD-CDRW DVD-R Floppy 120GB SATA I had a 2.6 in there for almost 2 years with no problems... Bought a 3.2E - 1MB and swapped CPU's First boot gave no video and the vocal "OverClock Failure" message Put the 2.6 back in - checked BIOS to be set to auto... Put the 3.2 back in... Now I get no video and the voice says "System Fail CPU Test". So I put the 2.6 back in and get the same results now. I tried the clear CMOS trick with no change. I thought the CPUs might have been toasted by the MB (or vice versa) so I went down to my local computer store and the tech guy tried them both in a new "Asrock" board (yeah I never heard of them either...) They both booted fine (and of course he wnated to sell me the board too...) so I know the CPUs are alive and kicking. AAAUUUGGHHH - I am so unlucky with this stuff I could just scream. Anyone have any ideas??? After this post I'm going to unplug all the excess power stuff, but at one point I had 3 HD's, the 2 DVD's, a floppy and a zip all working fine in there. And then I am going to bed and will check for any answers in the morning... THX RJM aka Flame
From: Steve on 28 Aug 2005 01:35 I've seen that twice, both times on Asus boards that use the 865/875 chipset with the IC5HR southbridge. Both times it was the southbridge chip that failed and the boards had to be replaced. My bet is that static killed your board as these southbridge chips are known to fail very easily by ESD...especially through the USB ports. -Steve "Flame" <A(a)B.COM> wrote in message news:Xns96BFE13CE2D4Fabcom(a)64.59.144.76...

From: Technik on 28 Aug 2005 01:46 How did you clear the CMOS; by just shortening the jumper, or did you actually pull the battery out of motherboard and then shorted the jumper pins? I know it sounds silly but have you plugged in the +12V 4 pin cpu power connector? Try re flashing the bios from the floppy by using ALT+F2 when computer boots up. Inspect the ZIF socket for debris or damages. Make sure there's nothing shorting. Inspect you motherboard in general for damages - it happens pretty often when you remove bulky CPU heatsink etc. /Technik >P4P800-E Deluxe - "System Fail CPU Test" > >REV 1.02 >BIOS 1007 >350W PSU >ATI 9800 PRO AIW >2x512 MB PC3200 >DVD-CDRW >DVD-R >Floppy >120GB SATA > >I had a 2.6 in there for almost 2 years with no problems... >Bought a 3.2E - 1MB and swapped CPU's > >First boot gave no video and the vocal "OverClock Failure" message >Put the 2.6 back in - checked BIOS to be set to auto...
