Replaced stock P4 478 HSFU with XP-90 and now system will not POST. CPU is Prescott 3.0.
First, it was a ah heck to get stock unit out. Actually pulled CPU in the process. Bent pin on original CPU, bad, got different processor and installed it. Mounted XP-90 on CPU and connected to power. Fans spin, but, no POST.
Not sure where to go from here. Really don't want to disassemble system.
Could I have hosed the CPU socket when removing stock unit?
I did reset bios to no avail.
What say you all?
