Hello,
I am upgrading my computer, so i decided to use the processor from the computer I'm upgrading and put it into an older PC. I was also going to swap the motherboard, but after removing both of them they were not compatible, but the processors are.
I replaced the motherboards, and swapped the CPU's and found that the computer fans turn on, the light on the mb is on, and the heat sink fan runs full blast. I get no signal on the monitor.
I removed the video card and tried the on board graphics, didnt work.
I removed the battery to reset the bios, didnt work.
I used a different psu, didnt work.
So i decided to put them both back the way they were when I started, as both were working. They both act exactly the same. One is a dell, and the power light is amber. I tested the cpu's to make sure i didnt damage them in a third PC, they work.
Pins on the motherboard are straight, none bent.
Seems like i am just missing something simple any ideas?
