Recently bought an Athlon XP-Mobile 2500 and 1GB or Corsair Value Select to upgrade w/ an old MSI K7T266 Pro2 MB. After I upgraded the BIOS, I swapped out the old 1.2G and 128MB with the new stock, but it wouldn't boot up, 4 LEDs in the back which means "Processor not istalled correctly", so I thought damn, may be it won't support an Athlon XP-M afterall, even if I underclock it. Took it out, put old proc back it, now it has 3 LEDs! "Bad Memory"! Which shouldn't happen, it's just DDR. So I took those out too and swap in the old RAM so that we're using all the old stuff again.... still 3 LEDs!! Has anyone encountered these problems before? Is the motherboard blown?!
Please help ASAP, do you think it would blew the CPU too? I'm hoping to just buy a new motherboard to rectify this issue.
Thanks.
