Hiya,
Just purchased a ASUS A7S333 Mobo, Heard it was pretty good and has some nice features,
I also bought speakers and another 256 of ram for it, I am buying a Athlon 1800xp to go with it (all i can afford ) I set it all up, and put the ram in, put all the connectors on, graphics etc.
I put the cpu in (a xp 2000) and put the heatsink on and plugged it all in, nothing came up on the screen then the cpu started smelling of burning, and i thought ow fcuk there goes the CPU.
So I am guessing the cpu is buggered, so i ordered a new 1800, I was wondering would the mobo display even the BIOS on the screen without a CPU? and it doesn't make any system beeps either, I checked and double checked the system speaker is in the rite connector, any ideas?
