Just check as many times as you can reseating that processor & the heatsink is properly installyed. If it still doesn't work, triple check that your motherboard supports up through an XP 1800+. If that's all fine, and the 1700+ works but the 1800+ doesn't, now start considering that the cpu may be defective.

There's really no reason why you can't just pop in the new cpu other than those few things above.

i have already try the 1800+ to place in other AMD motherboard(REDFOX)and it runs. i think my motherboard(867AS via) doesn't support 1800+.

can somebody help me on how to configure my motherboard(867AS via) so that it will support 1800+.

I am guessing but is the XP1.7+ a Palomino core (larger squarer die) and the XP1.8+ a thoroughbred (smaller and more rectangular)
It might be, and i will check later, that your motherboard supports Palomino core only (up to XP2.1+)

Replying helps further our knowledge, without comment leaves us wondering.

yeah, my XP1.7+ is a palomino core and my XP1.8+ is a thoroughbred...
