Hi, I just received my new video card and CPU today, and am having a lot of trouble deciding whether my CPU is DOA or if something else is amiss. I know that I have the right socket (LGA 775), but the computer refuses to boot up when the new CPU is in. Do I need to format my hard drive completely to get this CPU working, or is there something else I can do? Also, I'm actually pretty sure that I felt a static shock when I touched the CPU which had been sitting on a table for a minute or so. Could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
