romanos Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 HI there! I've bought a few days ago a cpu from the german ebay, the 3700+ clawhammer one. The processor arrived without the box and guees what, no fan either. It was instead packed in a really dodgy plastic case which was inside the letter. Yeap the processor arrived insode a letter.. lol.. So the thing now is that i tried it on my dfi lanparty ut and it's not functioning... It worked just fine with my previous 3400+.. Any ideas? Did i get mugged here, or there are any tricks to make this processor work.. :confused: Regards , Romanos... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jules Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 do a bios reset by pulling the mobo battery for a minute. Try swapping the power supply as well if you haven't tried that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEnumber337 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 You might need to do a long CMOS clear found here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanos Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 so isn't posible that the cpu might be just dead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanos Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 i didn't i had any problems with the other cpu's i tried: amd sempron 3100 (worked without cmos restart) and amd athlon 3400+..long cmos is a real hassle... this cpu should just work.. shouldn't?

Maarek_Stele Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Pretty weird, on my nf250 I've directly swapped a 3200+C0, a 2800+CG and 3700+CG without a serious problem. But sometimes on first boot I got a garbled screen, a reset would solve it forever but on the other hand, I get that when I change pci stuff too. If the cpu is good, it might be memory controller related, maybe you should try to boot it after cmos reset with only one stick.
