ABIT KT7A problem

[zom613]

I installed a kt7a motherboard
when I booted up the computer just made a continuous beep.
all I have installed is a duron 800, 128MB of ram, and a video card.
The monitor isn't reciving a signal from the computer so I switched video cards but the same thing happened agian.

It could be a dead CPU. First check everything. Make sure the RAM and CPU are seated properly in there slots and sockets. Can you test the CPU in a different motherboard? Check every component, and if everything works, but the new motherboard, then that is the problem. I hope this helps.

Good luck.

Do you have the CPU fan on header 1, you may have an old bios that requires this.

Sounds exactly like the fan header 1 issue. Check the owners manual to be SURE the the cpu fan is plugged into the fan 1 header.

If its not fan header 1, it could be a crushed cpu, or jacked memory. Try reseating them, and resetting cmos.

I have the fan on header one. I can run windows and linux but when I boot up it says duron 800, the cpu has been changed or is unworkable, if I continue loading it will boot up. But when I enter the bios it is set for a duron 500, i set it for 800 but the I can't boot up and I have to clear the cmos. I have tried the defualt settings and many others but none of them work.

Sound like a remarked cpu!

Sounds like you didnt close the L1 bridges,that's why you're getting cpu unworkable message.

That 'CPU changed' message is from *any* clock change done (under or over), including FSB and multiplier. It can be disbaled through the SoftMenu Setup. Ignore it otherwise.
