    what do you mean by that?
    Is there a specific jumper setting for a celeron processor than a P4?

    usually there's a specific jumper setting for each speed of processor.

    If it's turning on but you're just getting nothing showing on your monitor screen, it might be either your videocard or your AGP slot on your motherboard. First try another AGP videocard. If that fixes it, the problem is your card. If that doesn't fix it, see if you can borrow a PCI ( not PCI-E) videocard from someone. If that fixes it, the problem is most likely a bad AGP slot on your mobo.
