CPU upgrade gone VERY wrong.

[Jack.EXE]

I finally got to swap the 1100T into my system, it recognised it in the bios, but when I try to boot?

 

I get a black screen with a blinking cursor, and rapid bios beeps.

 

The last thing that POST says is "Checking NVRAM"

 

I need your help guys!

 

I have tried clearing cmos.

One stick of ram at a time maybe?

I´ve read you need to disable cool & quiet. Or your bios needs a update/cpu is not supported by your mainboard

[vlkn´]

Mainboard 1100T Black edition supported microcode: HDE00ZFBK6DGR

 

Amazon 1100T Black edition microcode: HDE000ZFBGRBOX

[Jack.EXE]

Mainboard Cpu support microcode: HDE00ZFBK6DGR  1100T black edition

Amazon: 1100T Black Edition:  Cpu microcode HDE00ZFBGRBOX

 

?

[vlkn´]

I don´t think it´s supported 100%

It´s a different cpu microcode

should work, it says right on the box it does.

Can you get into your UEFI or BIOS, if so try updating to the latest version, if not then put your old chip back in and update it

 

An update might be required to support your CPU

Get the amd cpu box, read the cpu microcode: post it here and let us help you.

 

It only can be

HDE000ZFBGRBOX

or

HDE00ZFBK6DGR

bought used, came in a little foam shell & a cardboard tray, the whole thing wrapped in plastic.

Yeah, maybe.

 

I can get into the bios just fine, actually.

tried, did nothing.

[vlkn´]

remove the powercable from the powersupply and then the mainboard battery for 30 seconds.

Is the CPU recognized in the BIOS?

[Jack.EXE]

Is the CPU recognized in the BIOS?

yes, I can get into the bios, it says AMD phenom II x6 1100T

[StareX]

Wait.. what's your Motherboard model and CPU model?

 

Actual names .. not codes please...

 

Example:

 

Gigabyte G1. Sniper Z77

i5 3440 3.2Ghz 

 

 

something...

it´s in the signature...

Cpu: Amd 1100T 

Mainboard: ECS A885GM-A2

[awettree]

Have you tried to boot off of a usb flash drive or dvd?

[kameshss]

Update the Bios with older chip and then put new CPU....

 

THen see if it works...

[Ie0n]

Indeed, sometimes old Mobos need Bios updates for compatibility with newer chips

[StareX]

Yeah, same old problem with Sandy Bridge motherboards, sometimes you needed to get a Sandy bridge, update the mobo and then put in the Ivy Bridge.

 

Do that mate.. hopefully it'll work. if you don't have one, go to an engineering store..

[Jack.EXE]

Old CPU in, same problem.

[StarFire]

Could the board be damaged?

99% sure they're model numbers. DGR represents OEM (Tray) processors shipped and BOX represents boxed (i.e. Retail) processors shipped.

 

I'd clear the CMOS using the battery, put the new CPU in and see if it posts, but as others have said you may need a bios update, Phenom X4s and whatnot were either C2 or C3 stepping, Thuban hex cores are E0 stepping.
