Hi,
My experimental working system: Case with a speaker connected to ASUS K8V-MX-EAYKZ (Socket 754, BIOS 0501, latest), AMD Sempron 3000+, 1GB RAM, VGA monitor directly to MB, keyboard, USB mouse, floppy, no extra cards or drives, booting OK from USB with Linux LNLX.
New CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+.
After swapping CPU and pressing a power button the PSU and CPU fans are on, monitor is black (no ASUS BIOS picture - just nothing appears), no beeps. System restarts to the same condition after pressing RESET button (as visible by monitor's self-diagnostics activity) and shuts down normally after holding pressed power button.
After swapping to old CPU system starts with a BIOS message something like "new CPU was discovered - press F12 to run SETUP", enters to BIOS when F12 pressed, exits from BIOS as normal and boots from USB OK. After restart no message about a new CPU, just clean boot.
I've tried swapping CPUs between old and new a few times with the same result - with the old CPU system boots OK.
What can be wrong? Current BIOS setting do not accept the new CPU? Or faulty CPU?
