I'm trying to repair a system. The old motherboard seems to have a problem in it. The cmos has to be cleared all the time to get it to boot so I bought a new motherboard, processor and memory. All claim to be compatible.
What I have is a PcChips FSB333 K7 Model No. M825G. It claims to support the AMD Sempron 2400+ Socket A processor I purchased. I also bought new PC2700 memory (DDR333).
I can't get this system to boot at all. I've cleared the cmos, checked for shorts, tried a new power supply etc. The only thing I haven't tried, for fear of frying the processor, is plugging in the 12v power supply connection on the mother board. I tried that with the old processor and released the magic smoke! Can't afford to do that again. Does this processor require that connection? I can't find any documentation that would tell me.
By the way, I've already sent the mother board back for a replacement once. I'm really lost at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
