I am having a problem I can't grasp. I turn my box on and i just get a blank screen and no beep from the cpu. I've resat the ram, checked all the cables. I've reset the cmos, replaced the cmos battery. The bios is up to date according to the manufacturer's website.
After I reset the cmos I finally get a beep from the cpu and it takes me into the bios to set the cpu speed manually. I load the setup defaults. Disable boot virus checking and the other settings seem fine. I save and exit and it gives me a blank again. If I leave it long enough it'll finally beep and take me into the bios and tells me my cpu halted because of an incorrect cpu setting. It's a p4 1.6 and that's what I set it to.
1) could it be my cpu is fried?
2) could it be my motherboard's cmos is fried?
3) any other suggestions.
Sorry for all the text. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
