Please forget my other post because it was described wrong. I orginally had a Athlon 1.0Ghz T-Bird. Today my new Athlon Xp 1800+ arrived and when I put everything together and turned it on, the lights on the cdrom flashed, the fans powered up, the hard drive and the power LED stayed on, but the system did not beep. Also there was no signal to the monitor, as if it was in sleep mode. I reseated the video card, and the same happened. I cleared CMOS, and still the same thing. So I decided to put my old cpu back in to see if flashing the BIOS to the lastest version would make it work. I put the new cpu back in and the same still happened. I'm using a 300W power supply and will get a 400W in a couple of days. Whenever I put my old cpu in everything works perfectly. Could the problem be with the power supply, meaning do I have enough power to use the Athlon XP 1800 or is it just my cpu. So now I had to put my old cpu in so I could come to see if I could get some help
