lga 775 msi motherboard problems

I have a msi g31tm-p21 motherboard that when i put a single dual or quad core cpu in it the fan spins up and no post. No video out either. No matter if i put a vga card in same thing no video out. I can't even get into the bios. Any ideas whats up with the motherboard?

 

Make sure to reset bios and reseat the ram.

 

I did reset bios via battery removal and short across the pins. Ram doesn't matter which bank its in either.

 

bios update required to support core 2+

 

I have tried the following cpu's and still nothing. Pentium e5700/ Pentium dual core e2180/ intel core 2 quad q8200 and nothing seems to work.

 

this system must be booted with the initial supported cpu in order to flash the update that supports later cpus.

The initial supported were Conroe, Kentsfield and Yorkfield based Core 2 processors and Pentium D.



There is an OC switch on this board that might be set wrong.

Note, this mainboard requires the latest bios in order to support low votlage ddr2, only jedec standard 1.8v ddr2 will boot prior.

 

thanks for the info i will see if i can find a earlier cpu to test in it.

 

Pentium e5700 he did try is already on your list. Most likely a RAM issue.

 

ok i will try some different memory thanks
