I'm putting together a pc for my dad for christmas using some old parts I had and adding a newer processor and memory. I had a 1.2 ghz tbird in a machine before with the epox 8k7a. I bought a 2000 xp processor with 256mb of pc2100 kingston ram. The onboard leds never change, they just stay at FF. I'm wondering if I need to flash the bios with the old processor in and then put the new one in, or am I possibly looking at a new board?
I tried reseating all connections, ram, video card. Tried a pci video card. Unplugged power from everything. Removed cmos battery, cleared cmos. Made sure all dips and jumpers are at default levels. Any help appreciated!
