Upgraded CPU = Fried board? or PSU?

I just upgraded my KT4VL board from a 1700 XP to 2400 xp cpu. It booted right up, i changed the FSB to 133. It ran for about 2 minutes and the speakers began broadcasting a clicking sound. I pulled the plug and now cannot get it to boot. Tried clearing bios, replaced old cpu, tried different PS, tried different cpu fan, pulled all hardware and reattached. My day sucked! Any ideas would be great.

I'm wondering if your psu fans are coming on if they are not comming on then try this to reset the board. Tools needed is a wire with two sharp ends on them.
Start you may not have a power override on yours thats why a wire is needed
WARNING: Check the Power Override switch situated at the back of the machine just above the connector for the power cable. If this switch is activated (switched to on), no power will be supplied to the system.
Power off (unplug) the system unit.
Check the power cord for continuity. Replace if necessary.
Check for the correct line voltage from the power outlet, and verify that the voltage selector switch (if present) is set to the correct voltage.
Power on the system unit.
1. Does the power supply fan run?
If Yes, go to step 2.
If No, go to step 3.
2. Does the system fail to shut off when the on/off switch is pressed?
If Yes, read ahead.
If No, go to step 3.
1. You might have a damaged on/off switch cable assembly.
2. Disconnect the on/off switch cable assembly connector from the power supply connector and take an ohm reading.
3. Go to step 6.
3. System shuts off when on/off switch is pressed.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the system unit.
2. Disconnect all power and switch cable connectors from the system board and the power supply.
3. Disconnect the power connectors to all drives.
4. Connect any one of the power connector to system board or drive as power load for driving up power supply.
5. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power supply.
4. Does the power supply fan run?
If Yes, read ahead.
If No, go to step 8
1. With the system powered on and the power supply fan running, check the voltages of the power supply connectors for the system board and all drive connectors, as shown in the following figures.
5. Are the voltages correct and does the fan run? (
If Yes, read ahead.
If No, go to step 8.
The power supply is working normally.
If you suspect the on/off switch cable assembly, see Step 2.
If the fan continues to run when all connectors are plugged back in, go to See Undetermined Problems .
If the fan stops running when a drive connector is plugged back in, go to Start .
6.If you have an OHM reading when the switch is pressed and an open reading when the switch is released.Replace the on/off switch cable assembly.
IF Yes, read ahead.
If No, go to step 8.
7. Replace the system board
8. Replace the power supply
ok now the wire thing if no fans are running with the atx power off and while still pluged in the board push one end into a orange wire and the other on a black wire hold untill the psu fan comes on. you may have two orange keep trying untill one of them works. I have done this with a few computers that people thought were dead and actually it just needed to be reset. Not many people know of this unless they went too school.

Upgrading CPU board on sunfire V490

Hi All,
im trying to upgrade a sunfire v490 by installing a second CPU board.
I have the 1st board fully populated of 2 GB RAM in 16 slots (total: 32 GB) and the 2nd one containing 1GB RAM in 8 slots (total: 8GB)
However, im getting POST errors when i startup the server with both boards. I tried to swap boards among slots => same results.
Whenever i try to boot with each CPU board alone => no problems were found.
Kindly assist please if any helpful suggestion.
Regards

If all of the below requirements are met, then can you provide the POST output, so we can have a look?
Notes
- The minimum V490 and V890 OS is Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, or Solaris 10 3/05.

- Refer to Configuration Guide 819-1813 for supported mixed speed configurations.
Memory Notes
- Four DIMMs of the same size form a group.
- The minimum memory configuration is sixteen DIMMS.
- Memory errors include CPU number, J number, and Slot location.
- DIMM groups associated with a failed CPU are unavailable for use.
- Interleaving is limited to memory on the same CPU/Memory Board.
- Two-way interleaving occurs in any group when the DIMM size does not match the size used in any other group.
- Four-way interleaving occurs between any two groups when the DIMM sizes are the same.
- Eight-way interleaving occurs when the DIMMs in all four groups are the same size.

Fried board

Hey Guys,
I've recently fried my PSU (sparked) and it seemed that the system still had power in it and stupidly I thought that it was a good idea to press the on button. Then the PSU sparked again and my motherboard standby light went dead. So I'm guessing the motherboard could be still good. So I then got a new PSU and plugged in everything and turned on the PSU, the motherboard standby light turns on now.
Here is my questions:
When I go to press the on button on the case, the computer doesn't turn on at all, there is only slight movement on the fans in the case but nothing happens. I've looked at the motherboard and the standby light is still on. So I go to turn off the switch at the back of my PSU and I noticed that the standby light turns off, but only to light up again for a second and turn off again, is that normal?
I've also noticed that when I tried to turn on the computer that was a click noise coming from around the CPU anyone have ideas of what is going on?
Finally is it possible for the system to boot up (just turn on) with no GPU (assuming that the mobo was still good)?
System Spec:
MSI P6N SLI Platinum
Intel E6600
4GB Corsair DDR2 Ram
SPIRE 500W PSU (SPARKED and FRIED)
Corsair 430W PSU
Inno3d GTS8800 320MB
160GB HDD (IDE)
Pioneer DVD (IDE)
Any help would be great
Thanks

You should get BIOS error beeps (you need a speaker connected to the board to hear them, of course).
I have a P7N which is similar to the OP's P6 & have questions that may help him:
1. The "Front Panel Connector" JFP2 includes both Speaker (SPK) and Buzzer (BUZ) connections. What are the BUZ for? Do both output POST codes?
2. I hear a faint beep off the MB (on POST) without anything connected to JFP2. Where's this coming from?

Dead board or PSU? failed XP install?

I have a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI Motherboard with Hiper Type R 580W PSU
Couple of months go I left the power off to the PC for a few days(The switch on the back of the PSU off). On turning it back on (PSU switch lit up) the PC wouldn't power up on the front button, no LED's nothing. After a considerable amount of wire waggling and taking it apart a couple of times it did power up and has been fine for the last couple of months so long as you don't turn the power off on the PSU switch on the back of the PC. And...Windows XP died on me at the weekend, wouldn't start in safe mode etc and failed on installing over the top of the old system so went for a clean install (I have all my storage files on a second drive so that's safe) there's only the system on the first drive.
I reformatted the drive the long way which went OK but when Windows started to install it failed saying a whole load of .dll files couldn't be copied. I shut everything down to go back to it the day after but on connecting the power sure enough I have no power again, PSU switch lights up but apart from that it's dead. I've tried jumping the front power switch terminals on the board with no luck.
So two issues, no power which I assume is either a dead or touchy board or PSU. There's no light on the board so any way of testing the PSU? I don't have a spare that I can try.
If and when I do get power any ideas on the failed windows install?
I'd appreciate your help before I start throwing money at it getting a new PSU or motherboard.
Cheers
Al

Disconnect all of the drives, remove all of the memory and pci cards except for only only one stick in the slot nearest to the cpu and one video card. Also disconnect the AC cord before doing a cmos clear.
See if it will start up with this barebones configuration. Then add the other sticks of memory. If it still works, run memtest86 to check the memory. 5 passes without any errors should be enough.
Add the drives one at a time to see if any of them are causing the problem. Once you know that the drives are good, do the same with the PCI cards. Let us know the results.
It would help if we knew what was in the system. Use the info that I provide on my systems as a guide to what we need to know.

Is it still possible to upgrade CPU on a G4 400MHz Titanium Powerbook?

I have a Titanium PowerBook G4 model (M7952) with a 17 inch screen, originally purchased in 2001. Over recent years I have successfully upgraded the hard drive to 128GB and the memory to 1GB SDRAM.
However, I have recently purchased Leopard and attempted to upgrade the system without first checking -and subsequently discovering - that my CPU speed is inadequate (currently only 400MHz, wheras required minimum for Leopard is 867MHz).
If anyone can advise me whether it is still possible to upgrade the processor on this particular model to the required specification for running Leopard - my initial searches have appeared to indicate this may not be possible - I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Steve

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Even if it is possible, you won't be improving the system bus of the machine, so there will always be a bottleneck. Also software updates may not perform right, as the system is really only designed for built-in processor 867 Mhz or higher G4s, and not upgraded CPUs. Upgrade CPU support has to come entirely from the CPU vendor that supplies the upgrade for firmware updates, and compatibility. Essentially you will be creating yourself a jalopy. 10.4.11 is the max that will ron a 400 Mhz G4 reliably.

Upgrade cpu with AMD A10-4600M in HP Pavilion dv7-6101er (lz661ea) FS1 and FS1r2 sockets

Hello Friends. I owner HP Pavilion dv7-6101er (lz661ea) and i want to upgrade cpu. Current CPU is A6-3410MX and socket FS1 i want replace for AMD A10-4600M socket FS1r2. But i don't shure will new cpu working in my notebook? I asked this question in ADM support, they said what both CPU is compatible, but need software support in bios of specific models of notebooks. I can't ask this question in HP support because free support time of my model is ended. Please prompt - BIOS of my notebook will support a new CPU?
This question was solved.

All of what you wrote - I understand that. But understand and you - the replacement of the processor is required because performance lacking. For a new book i haven't money.

All my notebooks have been made HP I always helped the company - buying its products, help you and me now. I'm not asking for much - just a concrete answer - will work or not?
No!! That is where you are wrong. I am not an HP employee.
Very few of us here in the forums are HP Employees. Those that are, with very few exceptions, are here volunteering their own time to help owners of HP products. This is a peer to peer forum where owners of HP products share their time and expertise helping others who need help. We are here to help. We are helping as volunteers.
There is no concrete answer on this. Sometimes an upgrade to an unsupported CPU will work, but most often it will fail. Read my previous posts. The risk of whatever currency you use in your country to purchase the new CPU is yours, not mine nor HP's.
Here is a solid answer for you...Use a CPU that is in the list in the Maintenence & Service Guide and your upgrade success chance will go up dramatically. I cannot say your upgrade success will be guaranteed because there is always the chance that you may break something during assembly/disassembly or be unaware of a critical assembly/disassembly procedure and inadvertently destroy your new CPU.
If you want a high performance CPU and chipset in a laptop then choose well when making a laptop purchase. Laptop/notebooks are actually not meant to be upgraded.

Dead Cpu or board?

Hi,i have an amd64 3500+ and msi neo2 platinum board.prob i have is that my cpu overheats the instant i turn machine on,the board and chip are only 2 days old,first day comp run at 34 idle np,but on 2nd day it wouldnt post so i went into bios and saw temp was high instant,now im lucky if i can even get to bios screen before cpu overheats and locks up,the heatsink and fan are both fine ,it is not that,if a cpu is broken would it normally overheat or just wouldnt post at all? Could it be some sort of board malfunction that causes the excess heat or does it have to be a cpu prob?The voltages in bios are all set to defaults,the cpu voltage is at 1.50 still so its not overvoltage,any ideas or help appreciated...
Thx

Yes all that stuff is as it should be,the heatsink is one i used for a while now and only has a small amount of grease spread as it should be,first day comp was np if heatsink was prob then it would have overheated right off,but something seems to have happened on 2nd day,what i really need to be sure off is which is prob the board or cpu as i brought them off different retailers and have no means to test the cpu or board without one or the other...

Upgrade CPU AMD E-300( 1.3ghz) for laptop HP 2000

Can I upgrade CPU for laptop HP 2000 .? change CPU for this...? impossible.?
Thanks a lot...I want to help

Hello santalucia1992. I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade the CPU in your notebook.
On some models of notebooks it is possible (though, not recommended) to upgrade your CPU. The problems you could run into are heat concerns and power consumption concerns. The cooling system for the notebook was designed with specific parts in mind and a faster CPU will create more heat. Also, the notebook's power supply was meant to handle a specific amount of power as well. A faster CPU will generally use more power. Also, some CPUs are soldered to the motherboard. This means that replacing the CPU means a full motherboard replacement.
In order to look up more specific information about the notebook I'll need your product number. I can use this to view what parts are available. This will give me a good idea whether or not the upgrade is possible. This document can show you where the product number is located.
I will keep an eye out for your response. I hope you're having an excellent day!

MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
Perhaps related?
After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

MSI 7030 MOBO fried board?

I just built a msi 7030 with a brand new athlon 64 cpu, it was working great, I powered off the unit from the rocker switch on the psu, moved the case on top of my batt backup/ups (space issues), when I powered it back on via rocker switch I got a small zap, sys wont boot or post (no err beeps), I have chked the mem,vid, and installed a backup cpu still nothing, I was not in the case when I got shocked, but my first guess was fried cpu, but so far all chks out, I don’t have a backup board to cross chk the cpu, could I have fried the bios? Only time I have ever had a problem with bios (not this board) but was during flash, it has not shocked me since and sys pwrs on fine, just get a “no vid” on screen
thanks

Dead board or psu

have been running this system for a month now and last week I turned puter on and the fans started off running very slow (not the whine that I am used to 4-80's and 1-120 fans) any way the fans quit working and the comp did not start tried several more time by pushing the on button. the NEW ultra xconnect psu blew a fuse I removed the ps from the case and opened it up and replaced the fuse I then plugged back in the 110v and nothing else I jumpered pin 3 and 4 and blew another fuse rma time Ultra sent me a new psu upon installing this new psu i repaced the asus mother board with a chaintech znf3-250 (couple of months old) unit won't power on ....installed new k8n-neo unit won't power on .....power supply will start to spin fans and then shut down if I disconnet the 4pin wire from the motherboard the psu will start and keep running (the powersupply) help don't know where i went wrong

Database rolling upgrade cpu patch with minimal service outage

Oracle 11gR2 Primary Instance
Oracle 11gR2 Active Physical Standby
Requirement of applying CPU and CVE patches with minimal downtime. I believe that I've been able to apply CPU patch to Active Standby after deferring redo transport and applying patch to active physical standby first and then performing a manual switchover to have the standby become the primary and former-primary become the standby and they apply CPU Patch there and then perform another role transition to its original role.
Appreciate your experience with primary and active physical standby rolling upgrades/patches. Thanks

Hello;
I believe you are over thinking this. All you have to do on the Standby is install the patch. No switchover, no SQL. No nothing.
The SQL will move from the Primary to the Standby.
Check the readme for the patch closely or post the patch number if you want to confirm.
OR
How do you apply a Patchset,PSU or CPU in a Data Guard Physical Standby configuration [ID 278641.1]
( If it helps I had the same thoughts after my first Data Guard setup !! )
If you are trying to avoid downtime entirely the switchover will take about as long as the patch.
If you have RAC this is interesting :

I want to quiet down a P4 1.6A CPU fan and Sparkle PSU

Hi,
I want to quiet down my P4 1.6A CPU fan and PSU fan....
A) I have a MSI 845G-MAX-L motherboard with Winbond monitoring chip. I notice that the CPU fan RPM goes up when temperature goes up. Is this normal on all boards, or is this an extra nice feature specific to MSI boards with Winbond chip???
B) I've already put a FanMate to the CPU fan, and it runs at 1500 RPM, but I can still hear it.... so now I have a Zalman fan bracket (FB123) and am searching for a 80MM which has RPM sensoring, to give me some feedback in the BIOS and MBM5. Any suggestions on a quiet 80MM which has RPM sensoring.... (I've tried Coolermaster and Vantec.. they are both noisy to me.... I tried Panaflo but I want the RPM sensor so I can tell if the Winbond chip is doing it's job of speeding up the fan when the CPU temp goes up....
C) I have a Sparkle 300W-BTV PSU. Does Sparkle solder on the PSU fan tail to the pcb or do they use some pin header?? I'll probably replace the PSU fan with Panaflo. Also does Sparkle use a thermistor to control fan speed or is it just one speed? I can use the Coolermaster DAF-B82 which is quiet at startup (1000 rpm) at 20 C.
D) I am thinking about getting the OCZ P4 eliminator passive heatsink.... anyone using it or seen a review of it? Can the Alpha 8942 run in passive mode with no CPU fan? I only have the Sparkle PSU fan as the exhaust fan in my Coolermaster ATCS-200 aluminum case.
Thanks.....

My CPU runs at 37 C at idle and the CPU fan is at 2400 RPM. When running loaded (at 100% utilization after 1 hour) my CPU temp runs at 41 C and the CPU fan is at 2800 RPM. During the summer when ambient temps were very high I've seen my CPU temps at 43 C and CPU fan speed at 3000 RPM.
I read a little on the Intel Precision Cooling Technology. I believe that the Intel Precision Cooling is capable of adjusting the SYSTEM case fans (along with the CPU fan). It seems that Intel went one step further by adding in SYSTEM fans and then adding in the ability for the user to control both the CPU fan and SYSTEM fans based on temperature.
What I'm wondering is if all or most P4 motherboards adjust the CPU fan speed based on CPU temp (in real time), or is this just something new that MSI did in their later boards like my 845G MAX? Anyone have other P4 MB (other than the obvious ones by Asus and the ones which have the Intel Precision Cooling) who can comment?

Hi,

The cpu is NOT soldered to the motherboard so a simple replacement should be fine. I see that your laptop uses only the shared graphics chip from the cpu. I would consider a board replacement too. There is listed a motherboard with a dedicated ATI Radeon 7670M with 1GB or 2GB of RAM. Component replacement procedures start from page 38.
