I know this is a very old board, but it has served me very very well, and just keeps on going. I purchased a 3.06 Northwood Hyperthreaded CPU with sSpec that is appropriate for this MB, but after installation (goes it fine), the system will power on for only a few seconds and then shutdown. I can never even get to BIOS. Am I missing something than anyone can think of? The Power Supply is more than ample, the MB supports HT, I'm on the latest BIOS revision for the board P10. Oh and the seller is no longer registered on Ebay, so I'm assuming I got a bad processor. I just didn't see anything on the manual for the MB that talks to an immediate shutdown scenario.. I'm glad it is there as a protection mechansism. I plugged the 2.4 socket 478 CPU back in and systems comes right back up. Any thoughts at all, or just write it off as a really bad experience... I can't think of anything else to try. Thanks ..
