Since you have done what has been suggested to you by previous posts then I will throw this into the works… Sometimes if a PC is overclocked it can get the same result. (Changed jumper settings on your M/B or auto settings in your BIOS that could have been changed/modified.) Or in another case, if your Power Supply is failing it too can cause either a low or high voltage to your memory or CPU that can affect your CPU's output. How old is your PC or your power supply?
Check your bios again for any possible setting which could or would put your MB into an overclock position, and try and swap out your power supply with another and see if it MAY correct the condition before investing in another CPU or other hardware.
i dont really understand what you mean by putting the MB into an overclock position, but ill try a different power supply
Hi there- I seem to have a similar problem. Every time I turn on my computer, after the usual messages of Pri and Sec Master and USB mass storage detection, I get this message: "New CPU installed! Please enter Setup to configure your system. Press F1 to Run SETUP Press F2 to load default values and continue" Pressing F2 leads to a blank screen with a flashing underscore in the upper left corner. Pressing F1 leads to the BIOS. I have tried many configurations, but I keep getting the same message every time after saving them and exiting the BIOS. The system will not boot. The CPU is correctly detected by the BIOS, as are all the drives. I tried unplugging all the drives, but there was no change in the problem. I had the same setup before and the computer worked fine. I moved country (from Taiwan to Canada - same electrical system), got a new case (standard tower) and a new screen (Samsung SyncMaster 913v), and this problem started. I have tried: -Updating the BIOS through the DVD-drive, but the computer won't access the drive before it gives me the message and freeze. -Resetting the CMOS. No change. -Changing the motherboard's battery. No change again. -Unplugging and plugging back the CPU. There isn't anything out of the ordinary with it . It -is- still detected by the BIOS. I'm at a loss. Please help. Olivier Motherboard: Asus P4P800S SE CPU: P4 2.8GHz RAM: DDRAM 512MB
