I just bought a Athlon XP 2200+ from ebay. I'm upgrading from a Athlon T-Bird 1.4ghz on a Epox 8KHA+ Revision 2.0 motherboard.
Anyway I put in the Athlon XP today and the system powers up but stops and doesn't display anything.
I tried reseting the C-MOS and also setting the FSB jumper on the mobo to 133MHZ just incase. Still the same, the system powers up but doesn't post.
I had this exact same problem 6 months ago when I bought an Athlon XP. At the time I assumed the XP was broken and just sent it back and got my money back (had a change of heart on the whole upgrade). But it can't be that two different Athlon XP's are broken. So there must be another reason.
My mobo supports the XP Thoroughbred right up to 2600+, and it works fine with my T-Bird. The only other thing I could think of was the BIOS. So I got the newest BIOS from the Epox site and flashed the board. Still exactly the same problem.
This really makes no sense to me. How in the world can this motherboard not work with this CPU if it supports it and is clearly working with another CPU??
Anyone have any idea's?
