I am having promblem is with my computer I just a a new motherboard MSI K9N6SGM-V All in ONE and cpu AM2 64 X2 5200+ and 1x2 gig ram My computer would't load up. It turns on everything going but not loading up on the screen and there is no beep where it first starts up. can anyone help me get this working please?

DND

is this the same pc from before ?
didn't you take it to the computer shop to get fixed ?

Matt2008

no it is dual core, I has notice one of the pins on the cpu has snap of could this have stop it from lighting up the screen. or could the power pack be stuff. It's is a new board and cpu and new ram the computer is doing something but there is no beep like my old one and nothing coming up on the screen at all. can someone help out it's pissing me off now

Fernbay

Do you know the CPU's are 'keyed'?
One corner has pins missing to be sure the you can not get the orrientation wrong. It will only go in one way.

Are you sure it's broken off?
If it really is, then it's stuffed anyway...

Nah mate, the newer MSI boards are fine with 2gb sticks
If a CPU leg is off then definately stuffed

urban_s0ulja

take it to someone that knows what there doing mate
learnings all good and well and im all for it
but by reading some of your posts i really dont think you should be playing around inside a good pc just yet.

maybe take it to a store that'll give you a free quote on the repair job?

i got the board on now it lights up the screen but now it's not booting. when i have the windows cd it's says please put boot disc in and press any key. i do that and it just keeps saying it. Could this booting problem be caused by the broken pin on the cpu

Fernbay

Matt, once again, as above, if the CPU does have a broken pin, then it's stuffed.

anyone

i accidently broke a pin on a cpu and it still worked to my amazment, try another cpu to suss it out, on another note i could crank my old 433mhz to a higher fsb by removing a pin or cutting the track on the mounting board

Izzy

When it's all said and done you've got to assume that if a chip manufacturer went to all the time, trouble and expense of designing a CPU with heaps of little legs on it, the loss of just one, might, just might be seen as being important.

Sure you may get it it to start up, hell you may even get it to load an operating systems, but I'll bet you 10 to a gallon of pigshit you won't get to do much else.

Listen to those who know and I'll speak slowly here,

If your cpu has a broken pin then it is stuffed.

If it didn't need that pin it wouldn't have been manufactured with it

anyone

bullshit read my post above i increased my fsb speed by 25% 8 years ago by cutting a track to the cpu,

anyone

any objective replys accepted
from toms hardware pages Now How Is It Done? - Tom's Hardware : How to Get All 66 MHz Slot 1 CPUs Running 100 MHz
sure you wouldnt go taking pins out but in this case it increased my fsb

my own previous testament that arse can beat class,,,,,sometimes
right now i have 3 kl to spare

Izzy

Man if bullshit was barbed wire you could fence Texas.
Eight years ago and you were leading the world with your knowledge of dual core cpu's.

Billy's got a job for you mate

anyone

please point out the bullshit in my posts?
old i am but with it comes experience

urban_s0ulja

hey izzy
how are ya mate

but one of my idiot mates had a cpu going fine with one pin missing LOL

dont ask me how he did it, but it worked fine.


but honestly if your breaking cpu legs you shouldnt be around the insides of a pc

Not all pins are used on a cpu, and i think a couple are redundant.

The processor is obviously working, as he's getting an 'incorrect boot disk' screen.

Matt, the computer is looking for an operating system (os) to boot, but can't find one.

If it has windows installed (or any os), get into the bios and select the HDD which has the os on it as your 1st boot drive.
If you don't have an os installed and your trying to install one from a cd, then go into the bios and set the CD drive as the first boot, and then make sure whatever HDD your installing to is set to boot next.

Cheers, RHCP.

dont think i have ever had a computer with a broken cpu pin, as fernbay said i would get a new cpu, secondly as rhcp said in above post

if your getting incorrect boot disk means their is no operating system on that disk,

also i heard if its duel core depending on how AMD set up their cpu , if anything like intel 1 pin out of place and boom no cpu, they are very touchy!!
