I was running a athlon 2000 in an epox ep-8ka7+ mb and it was running fine. A m8 of mine bought a athlon 2100 cpu for his system and could`nt get it to boot, so I said that I would test his cpu in my system. When I tried it, all the fans would run but there was no video signal to the monitor and it would not past post. Ok I thought his cpu is f***ed.
When I put my cpu back in exactly the same happens. Fans run (cpu,case,mb), no beeps at all, no video output, no flashing lights on keyboard its just dead.
All in all I`ve shorted the cmos out, taken the battery out, disconected the power from the board, taken all the unecessary cards out, swapped the ram,taken the vid card out, swapped the vid card, rebooted with the insert key pressed down etc etc ZILCH NADA !!!!
Any ideas guys, is the mb f***ed or what?? Is it possible for a cpu to damage a motherboard?? The mb is less than 2 years old would it still be under the manufactures guarentee???
Please help
