[TriLUG] Slightly OT: CPU Bad?

[Brian Blater (BBList)]

I recently received a used AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor for use in my ASUS A7V266-VM motherboard. I was told it was pulled from a working machine, but I cannot get the machine to post when the processor is installed. I've verified the motherboard and BIOS support the XP2200+ and reverified the pin settings, but no go. The board works fine with the current Duron 800 in the box.

My question is: Does anyone have an AMD Athlon XP processor they are willing to loan so I can test the motherboard to see if that is the problem, or does anyone have a AMD Athlon XP system they are willing to test my CPU with? I work in the Park and live in the Apex area and would be more than willing to pick up or deliver said item.

Just to make this more on topic, this machine will be part of my linux home network, once I get it working.

Thanks,
Brian
