Hey guys, got a new Abit NF7-s a week back got it plugged in a new 2500 barton. Nothin. The standby and the green light on the board were both going all fans were turning like crazy but no video, no BIOS.
So I assumed BIOS were DOA and RMA'd the board and got a second one rinse and repeat. nothin. So i start to wonder if its the processor. I take it over to a friend's and swap his 2500 barton out of his soyo kt-400 lite with my 2500 barton.
Nothin.
Won't post with my barton in it. Then we replace his and now HIS board won't post with HIS barton, which was working fine. (everythings goin but no video again)
I've tried resetting CMOS, removing battery, switching out 4 video cards(even a pci one), testing RAM in other systems.
Is my processor shorting out motherboards?
Am I overlooking something obvious?
I'm completely confused, and have eliminated everything i can think of, anybody have ideas?
(Besides treating the computer like the copier on office space)
