    are your fans/lights working but nothing else? if so, you either havnt put it in properly, it is the wrong socket type or its broken


    is this your motherboard: http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=...eluxe&langs=09 ?

    if it is, it is socket 478, i presume you got a socket 478 cpu?

    do you get any beeps from the pc when you try and start it up with the new cpu?

    will your BIOS support the new chip?

    Just a quick look at the manual:

    http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...0-e_deluxe.pdf

    There is a gold corner on the processor that needs to be in the proper corner of the socket?

    There are a couple of types of 3.0GHz Intel Pentium processors. Is it just a "Pentium 4 3.0GHz" model or is it a "Pentium 530" or a "Pentium 531" model?

    Is there any option in the BIOS to manually set the processor speed / bus speed / multiplier / voltage? If there is, then set this up for your new processor while the old 1.8GHz processor is fitted. Save and exit the BIOS. Then switch off the power when it reboots and fit the new processor.

    Let us know if that helps

    You need to create a boot disk and copy the BIOS update file and the BIOS update application onto it. Details of how to update the BIOS on your particular Asus motherboard model is given on the Asus web site here:

    Hope that helps
