HELP!!HELP!! I CANT GET MY NEW T_BIRD 1000mhz to boot!!!!!

[Derelict]

Ok.....I went out and bought a new t-bird gig cpu. I come home expecting it to plug right in and boot up dandie...hell no...i got no bios on screen and she just sat there running. Now I thought well lets clear the bios, nope didnt work...what about insert key..nope that didnt work either. So mabey my mobo was fried...I take that back and got a brand SPANKIN new one...nope didnt boot up. Well my mobo is M7VKB Biostar...yeah yeah i know its not T-OF-L but hey, it works great with my 900 tbird. Now im wondering if the cpu the store gave me is 266 FSB because it was brand new -OEM- but i cant get it to boot. Not in my asus A7V (200 mhz cpu bus) nor my Biostar (200mhz cpu bus). How do I tell if its 266 chip?? Is the chip DOA??

the codes are as follows

A1000AMT3B
AVIA0110BPCW
95164680620

A 266 chip should still boot at 100FSB. Most of the time, when you don't get a post, either the RAM isn't seated correctly, or the CPU is crapped out. You should still have some sort of warranty on your chip, so RMA it and get another.
