Mobo: MSI 975X V.2 Platinum power up Bios 7.7
CPU: Intel Celeron D @3.33GHZ (working) / intel q6600 (will not work)
CPU Cooling: Zalman CNPS9500 LED
Ram: 4x1GB Kingston kvr533d2n41g pc4200
PSU: Antec true power trio 650 watt (8 pin cpu power connector)
GPU: Saphire (ati) 2900 pro 512 gb
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster 5.1
HDD: WDC 160 gig / maxtor 250 gig (backups) no-raid
CD: Sony 52x r+rw
DVD: Samsung DVD rom
PC boots up and runs fine with the celeron and everything else installed. When I put the q6600 in, it does not boot (the fans come on but no post) and my mobo led's tell me it is Memory Detection Test. Testing onboard memory size. The D-LED will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly. This is where it stops.
I've tried Moving one stick @ a time from slot to slot, different ram (1 g pc5300), Removing/swapping video cards. I unhooked everything form the board except the bare essentials,(CPU, ram, video, PSU) and still no post
I had a computer tech try to boot the q6600 with a pci diagnostic card with no luck (again the celeron booted to the test card fine and passed all diagnostic tests) I RMA'd a q6600 back to newegg for a replacement, got the new one with the same result. I tried upping the voltage to the dimms no difference.
Again, the computer runs fine with the celeron, even ran CPU stab test with no crashes.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice; I am at my wits end with this.
