Hi, so i have a ga-m61sme-2sl rev.2 am2 motherboard and previously it had athlon ii x2 250 cpu installed, which is am2+ cpu. So it means that the bios is alright, version F5J.
So, i installed an athlon ii x4 640, which should work, cause it needs the F5J bios.
Also, i replaced both ram sticks, from ddr2 pc6400 800mhz 1gb, to ddr2 pc6400 800mhz 2gb, for a total of 4gb.
So, i booted the pc, and it started to beep 3 times, there was no signal on the monitor.
Whats wrong with my pc?
I have some toughts too about it. You see, the ram supported by the athlon ii x4 640 is either ddr2 1066mhz or ddr3 1333mhz. I have installed ddr2 800mhz. At first, i thought that ram caused the problem, but then i looked at the old athlon ii x2 250 specs, and it says, that it too only supports ddr2 1066 mhz, but it works fine on 800mhz too. What is the deal then?
