CHECK MY THIRD POST IN THIS THREAD!

So, I've bought a new processor, it is Intel Celeron e3400 2x 2.6ghz wolfdale which costed me pretty much (since I'm slim on my budget at the moment).

So, it is a 775 socket, which accordingly should fit into my motherboard, but, for some reason, it doesn't.

So, basically, I remove the fan, take off the current processor which is Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @1.60ghz (2 CPU's) and put the new one.

The problem is, when turning on the PC it doesn't reproduce the squeek sound when you turn the computer on, so it just stays idle, doing nothing (can't access anything).

My motherboard is Asus P5VD2-VM and I have 400 w power supply. I tried removing my Graphic card (which is GT 430) and still nothing.

EDIT: Tried to update my Bios to latest version, still nothing.

Any help is appreciated. I'll reply to this message ASAP cause I have nothing to do today (day off).

About the processor not fitting in to the motherboard: Make sure you put the processor in the correct way. Normally on the processor there will be a little corner missing or a dot to represent which way it goes in. Press down hard on the tab to lock it in place, apply the thermal paste and install the heat sink. If done correctly it should work.

If you did those steps correctly it should work. If it doesn't work I'd recommend a CMOS reset.

1. Turn off the system.
2. Ground yourself.
3. On the motherboard you'll see a silver battery. Remove it for 10-20 minutes.
4. Place the battery back in the slot.
5. Plug everything in and turn on the machine.
6. Should work.

Reply back if it doesn't work.

Since I was so stubborn to get that new processor, guess I have no choice than to buy a new motherboard, which will cost me cheaper than re-selling my new processor (cannot refund it, asked them twice already).

I really need your help guys over here, and I'll list every possible information you'll need.

For now I'm searching motherboards for my pc, and I found few of these, can you tell me are they good? I mean, I'm not really an expert when it comes to hardware, but I'll provide information from my current motherboard so that everything is identical to the new one (like ports, etc). Cause I don't want any trouble when it comes to this part, I already freaked out when I wasted all my money on this CPU!

So, list of some motherboards I've found:

G31M-GS R2.0
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=G31M-GS R2.0

G31M-S R2.0
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=G31M-S R2.0

G41M-VS2
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=G41M-VS2

P5QPL-AM
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5QPLAM/#specifications

They are all socket 775 (afaik). Now, my question is:

1) Will they run perfectly fine with CPU Intel Celeron E3400 Box, Socket 775?
2) How can I know if any of these MOBos can fit in my pc?
3) Do these motherboards have same numbers of ports just like my old one?



In case you want to know about my current motherboard, here are some info from aida64:

I need to know what computer case you have and a list of every computer component you have inside it. Also what peripherals you have (USB wireless stick, mouse, keyboard, etc).

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
