vivi2000 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I just got a new processor (AMD athlon 64 3200+) to replace my old broken processor for this computer. When I turn the pwoer on all the fans and lights and things come on, but no display comes up on the monitor. There is no onboard video and i am pretty sure that all the parts work for it(Video card, RAM, HDD and DVD drive). My friend said that it may not recognize the processor and that I should update the BIOS. How would I go about doing that? I do have a floppy drive i can put into my computer but i would rather use a CD or flash drive If I can. My motherboard is an MSI Neo K8t Neo-V.

wolverineI Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 How do you know the old proc was bad,and not some other component such as mobo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Have you tried clearing the CMOS? (link in my sig) This is generally necessary when switching the CPU. If it's not completing the POST and displaying a video signal, then you won't be able to flash the BIOS anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
