So I'm replacing my old 1.6a with a 2.4B, but for some reason, ever since I put this chip in, my mobo is acting weird. It was acting weird last night, and now I cant even get past POST (at stock speeds/voltages). I've reset the BIOS using the mobo jumper about 10 times now, trying to get it out of POST but no luck. I'm about to put in my old chip to see if that fixes it, but I dont know if its going to help much, and its a PITA to take off my PAL8942 to switch chips.

Anyone seen this happen before?
 
Ok so it turns out it looked like my motherboard crapped out on me. Anyone know how long it takes to abit for turnaround on an RMA?
