Hi LLC,

i tryed to put the xeon in the computer but unfortunetly the computer isn't start properly.

The computer strats right away when i plug the power cord and stays open no display and no Windows.

Thanks

I don't know that right now.

How to know? Which step do we miss?

[LLC]

I mean, the processor executes the bios code or not, if so, where does it stop ? And also understand what in the sequence of processor commands needs to be changed for it to be properly initialized. Cpu may be work, but motherboard not give right Vcore or fast auto power off when bios code detected unknown processor, it's assumptions. Because the detailed sounds, noises, light signals are not described.

Ill make furter test tomorrow. But thing i can say. No speaker sound, black display, turn on right when i plug the power cord, red light appears on my graphic card and i cant turn it off with the power switch. I have to turn off power supply switch or unplug it.

[LLC]

i cant turn it off with the power switch

You press "Power SW" button 5 sec (force shutdown) or less ? Have you button "RESET" ?

No speaker sound

Even when all memory slots are empty (memory modules not inserted) with the new processor ?
