Dead cpu?

[1NIGHTMAREGAMER]

I have a mpga478 mobo that works with a 2.40ghz Northwoods CPU  and i have a 3.4ghz Philippines 478 CPU that has Nick in it when I installed that CPU my mobo turned on and turned of two sec later but mobo isn't issue wondering if my CPU is dead from Nick on side of heat spreader ?

If the CPU is known to be compatible with that board then maybe. Attach a picture of the CPU and maybe I can tell you better.

Also it's night time and flashlight is to bright and sis is asleep lol

I really doubt a nick that small to the head spreader would impact the function of the chip, however if it was caused by a severe force (like dropping the CPU) then it may have simultaneously caused damage inside. I assume all the pins are present and not bent?

What is the motherboard model number and what is the 5-digit CPU model number? (usually printed just before the manufacture location)

[1NIGHTMAREGAMER]

All there but does require a little forceto slide  it in unlike my working one btw that's my table cloth  also the nick is sorta buDEP t not going through 

[WQXGAisStillGreat]

I wouldn't worry about the small force, as long as you don't feel you have to force it in. I can't quite make out the model number from that picture... Does the heatsink sit crooked on top of that area where the nick has bent the metal up?

Nope just got it in mail ...

Definitely a nice upgrade. I'm having no luck with that Motherboard model number, but the FSB difference may come into play.

If your chipset supports 800MHz memory, this could possibly solve your problem. The fact that the motherboard produces the same symptoms with no CPU isn't very encouraging.

Maybe the is CPU dead ? Is

[WQXGAisStillGreat]

It's possible. I'm looking into the motherboard real quick - hold on a minute.

Looks to be chipset 845D. Checking compatibility.

As far as I can see, the Intel 845 chipset series runs a 400MHz front side bus, with support for 533MHz FSB CPUs on most variants. The 800MHz FSB on your CPU is not supported on this chipset, which is why it's acting as though no processor is present. Sorry

No any one who could make bios support it with custom bios ?
