hey peoples of toms!!!!! i have a question or two. i cannot get this stupid computer to post or display video, tried pci card and agp card. both work, monitor is fine, hooked to laptop and it works. i have two corsair dimm 512, its in the qvl in the book. i popped both out, it beeps like a mofo at me. put one in or both, nothing. just sits there and hangs. it wont even turn on the monitor! i tried two power supplies, they both work on my working system. i know that the ram wont run in dual channel mode, but here is the one question that concerns me the most.

WILL A MOBILE CPU (amd 3000+ athlon clawhammer with 1mb cache) WORK IN THIS MOTHERBOARD? i hope it will, i just wasted 35 bucks if not....this sucks. if it wont, anyone have a 754 cpu that works and wants to upgrade their box/ i will buy it off you!!!!!

any advice or parts are welcome!

Have you tried resetting the cmos? Try that, see if it will fire up then.

yup tried. popped out battery, reset jumper, made sure all usb jumpers were same, read that somewhere that was the problem...wasnt. tried two sets of ram, one stick at a time, both, but none does make it beep. i didnt take the cpu out. i hope it didnt fry the cpu when it was in the laptop. it will work wont it, as long as its not cool and quiet on. oh well, still waiting on a response from the guy i bought it from. his site said i had 7 days to get back to him, i got the board friday and a week later i was still in maui....it was only 25 bucks with shippin.

i pulled cpu, tried booting and nothing, no beeps just like before. is it a bad cpu? it worked fine like three weeks ago when i sold the dude the laptop it was in. wondered what he did to it to fry it?

Some boards won't run mobile cpus. I don't see yours on a list I dug up from ages ago. I would go for the regular 3200 instead. It's still available for around $35 at a couple of venders. Msi boards will work with most mobiles, including turion 64's.

yeah i went to their site, i dont think it will work. its not on the list...suxors! well, i guess i will try to find a 3200+ or something like it. thanks for the help guys, hope i can get this runnin! maybe i should find a 939 board instead...i have an opty 146 sittin on the shelf in my house not being used...

Hey any luck ? I have the same problem

yeah, mobile procs not recognized by this board..should be. but my step dad has the parts now, i got a 3200+ for it too, but still havent got it all going. emailing him soon to see if it all works.
