Built new system and nothing...

No beep, no post, just power and fans.

Traded out my old CPU and got it to post, so, RMAing my new chip back to newegg... and they're treating me right.

Hoping the new chip will post and run like the devil

good luck...new egg is a great company, good prices, good policies, good all around. usually good products but theres always a bad egg in every bunch.

so you got the NEWEGG BADEGG(TM)

thats what I was goin for....didn't want to be too blatant about the pun though.....

NewBldr · Mar 11, 2004

Yep, just traded the new chip in again, just to make sure... still nothing. Off it goes tomorrow and a replacement will be in the mail by then as well

The first badegg I got from newegg... but, hopefully my last (though not likely)

Fortunatly they have a streamlined RMA process available!

hmm, maybe its a misaligned jumper

I know with an AMD board I have, I have to change the fsb from 100 to 133 via jumper, it would still post, but it would be at the wrong fsb if the jumper was wrong, is your working cpu the same as your newegg cpu?

Similar... The new chip is a 2.8c and my working chip is a 2.66 533fsb. I wouldn't expect default settings for my motherboard to be something that wouldn't allow a new P4 chip to post though. The board is an Asus P4P800 deluxe.

Anyway, I don't mind RMAing it. I have other parts on their way. sp they can all arrive around the same time and I'll be up and rocking early next week
