Hi gurus

I have a P4 2.23G-400 and an ASUS P4S533
I want to upgrade to a P4 2.8G-533, but I can NOT get the damn thing to work
Absolutely nothing happens
I updated BIOS to 1010C, but that didnt help

Any suggestions ?

TIA
LB

Not a guru, but running a 2,8/533 and a P4S533 ( bios 1010version5, 300W
PSU ) without any problems. Have you tried to ( jumper) reset the bios or
mayby it´s "just" a wrong bios setting ?
some more general info about the motherboard:

Which VERSION of the P4 2.8 GHz processor are you trying to use? There are
several. For instance the newer "E" version, which has a 1 MB L2 cache in
it, will most likely not work in that older board.
