Bad CPU??
« on: August 01, 2006, 06:02:12 PM »
Got the AMD 4000+ yesterday.  Pulled the 3000+ out of the MB and dropped in the 4000 and nothing...  System just briefly fired up - maybe for one tenth of a second and then dead.  Pulled the 4000 out and replaced the 3000 and she fires right up.
Checked MB compatibility and that shows OK.  Cleared cmos and tried again - same thing, briefly starts to fire up and then dead.  Reloaded the old 3000 and updated the MB bios.  Dropped in the 4000 and same thing.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:
Anyone got any ideas here?  I've heard getting a faulty CPU is pretty rare so am I missing something here?  All the pins look fine - nothing bent and the box arrived undamaged.  The cpu dropped right in - didn't have to apply any pressure.  My psu is rated at 480 watts so I doubt that is the problem.  I'm at a loss here.

The "old" bios I had should have been fine and even updated to the newest and no luck.

Would try an RMA and swap it out with another.

Relic did you re-paste the cpu with new stuff? If not that could have very well caused your problem. Sounds like a small deal, but its a small step if left out can cause major problems. I know you have sent it back allready, but im figured I would throw it out to ya.

Even tho I highly doubt a cpu could reach a temp bringing about failure in less than 1/2 a second - the heatsink fan was attached from the start with arctic silver paste.

no. I ment thats all it would do AFTER the CPU fried.

dont know how long it took as I wasnt home at the time it happened.
Just came home and noticed my old socket A no longer sounded like a shopvac LOL

When I tried to reboot all it would do is the same thing yours was doing

Fan lights would come on, fan would whir for about a secopnd and a half, then it would shut down

Sorry DREDIOCK, I was responding to PuckIt with that prior post.
I'm pretty sure I must have just got "lucky" and got a bad one.  Now I gotta wait another "2 to 4 weeks" for the replacement.

As I have way to much time in front of a pc I looked up your problem. It seems many people have had the same problem with random cpu's. It seems that most of the results were wrong voltage, no paste, bad CPU. I hope your next one works like a champ!

Sorry for the bump, but I got the replacement CPU today and it is doing exactly the same thing - fires up ever so briefly and then nothing. :mad:
OK what on earth am I doing wrong here?  I simply cannot believe I got TWO bad cpus in a row - but the old 3000+ works like a charm.  Anyone got any ideas?

Epox EP-9NDA3+.  The revision number on the motherboard box says 2.x

The 3000 cpu # is ADA3000BIBOX and the new cpu is ADA4000BNBOX.

I'm starting to worry I got an early version of this MB that won't support this cpu. :cry
