OK, now I get a screen, but I get a message CPU over voltage error and then
the thing shuts down before I can get into the Bios to fix it.
I got a retail box CPU, but the fan (who on earth designs these things?) is
only secured on three of four sides, and one side keeps popping out of the
holes on the board that are supposed to secure it.
With all the Athons I built, the CPU fan attached to notches on the
processor socket so there was something very fixed to hold on to. But with
this fan sits above the CPU like a chair, and there are holes in the board
that 4 little clips go into that in THEORY are supposed to hold it in
place....nice theory if it would work.
Maybe that is why it keeps shutting down?? I guess I better check my specs
though as I never found a mobo that didn't autodectect the voltage on the
CPU.
