Hey guys, first time post here. Had a question that I've been trying to figure out all night and I think I've found the problem...but just wanted to run it through some other minds to see if I may be right.
So today I went out and got a new Processor, i was looking at getting the Intel Q6600 Quad Core and ended up walking out of the store with a slightly better Q9300. I got it home, dropped it on my Mobo which is a Gigabyte 965P-S3, pushed the button, cleared the CMOS, and then it turned it on. It then kicked into gear...But thats all it did. It seemed as though all the fans and harddrives kicked on but that nothing was happening internally as the Bios never kicked on, nor the graphics to even tell the monitor that there was something to display. It just seemed to sit idle but running (vegetative state i could call it)
So i tinkered around and fiddled with this and that and then stumbled on a tidbit of information when looking at the component specs. Here's the discrepency that i found:
Motherboard: Supports 1066mhz FSB
Intel Q6600 (the card i was gonna get): FSB 1066mhz
Intel Q9300 (the card i ended up getting): FSB 1333mhz
Do you think the reason why nothing is happening is because the differences in the FSB? Gigabyte tells me that it can run a Quad core processor, and they are the same socket types (775) so i know thats not the issue. I know the 9300 works as i got it to work on another board which has a FSB of 1333.
Thanks in advance for any clarification or "Yeah duh thats the problem" answers. Cause thats all i need.
Tomorrow I'm gonna go pick up that 6600 since it is 1066 and therefore...should very well work without a hitch.
