Even a dead CPU might (sometimes) allow it to post and no more, but having no CPU is like trying to turn it on without plugging it in.

he flashed the bios and messed it up(only a month after he bought it - back in 2006)....now only if I had a CPU....
The motherboard looks brand new cause it was only in use for a little more than a month...
I am really good at recovering BIOS mess up's but if it won't post how will I do it!?!?!
anyone ever request a new BIOS chip from ASUS?
The motherboard has 4 DDR1 slots

Hi,
I just hot flashed the BIOS chip on the motherboard and now it should work. I did this by changing the BIOS chip while the computer (with a different motherboard) was on and switching the BIOS chip....then I flashed the corrupted BIOS chip and it showed as successful. I still can't POST the motherboard as I don't have a CPU.
DDP, if you want to buy it from me drop me a PM and a reasonable price but I can't guarantee that it works, although I am pretty sure that it does.
LOL, I was sooo happy that the flash was successful that I almost cried!

A word to the wise! Don't install Firefox 3! Look for Firefox 2. 3 is full of all sorts of glitches at the moment!

I read your post....but still want to post here cause this is kind of my "hangout place", LOL I really need to get a life!
But anyway....all I can tell you is to switch out the CPU to an old Celeron LGA775 or any old LGA775 CPU that you may have lying around for that matter.....
If indeed it is bent/broken pins in the socket.....well in that case you are screwed cause ASUS doesn't cover any "physical" damage.
When I had to RMA my motherboard, I think I blew the NB (I hadn't even overclocked). Probably bad thermal paste job on their part.
I really think that its the NB(North Bridge) but if you were drunk when you put your CPU in, then that might be it?!
Hope you figure it out and it doesn't turn out to be broken/bent pins in the socket,

I was fortunate that I was able to remove Firefox 3 from my personal computer. I wasn't as lucky with the other two Intel's or the AMD. By the time things stopped working, it wouldn't uninstall! It had all three royally screwed up! I hate wiping drives and installing new operating systems!

internet explorer 7 isn't bad, but I prefer the UI of firefox, don't ask me why. However, Firefox 3 gave me all sorts of issues, stick with 2.

Now an on topic note: A Danish company Danamics has developed a new processor cooler using liquid metal. They claim that it surpasses all air coolers and most water coolers using very little power.
http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=6143
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/danam...cooler/
Soph,
How does this work?Liquid metal is liquid(ie:mercury freezes@ -38 degrees or there abouts).So if the liquid metal is @ room temp,how does it cool any better than a water setup?(Assuming that the room temp is above -18?)
Regards,crowy.
P.S. Good to see you back buddy,hope all is well with your side of the world.
Russ,I miss the flying saucer!!!
LOL!!Take care Bro.
One more thing Soph,what is it the Danish have with keeping things cold??Danfoss are also Danish.

The metal used is probably man made because it has to use some sort of ferrous material in order for the magnetic pumps to work. Metals have greater density than water and apparently better heat transference as well. The company that makes it has a website and here's and image from it.

Thanks, all is well. I'm usually more active in the summer since as an educator I have it off. Last summer I lost my mind. I decided to travel the North West and Pacific North West to do some fly fishing. The trip took six weeks so I wasn't near a lot of technology in the wild.

I know some benchmarks were posted on the last page and the topic sort of shifted, but I'm fishing for reasons/ advice I'm slightly behind the others like Mort with similar setups while at the same clock speed.
Ya think slightly underclocking the memory (My 1066's run about 1020 because of gigabytes locked BIOS cant set memory independent from FSB) could be the issue? Any links I may want to read up on? TIA

Your measures will be behind unless you're using the same version of Sisoft. Older versions of Sisoft always renders a slightly higher score than the latest versions.
Get your hands on a copy of Sisoft 2005 and then see how your result compares.

deadrum,
I have my cpu freq set at 427mhz x 8 (3.42ghz) and my memory is running at 1067.6mhz. I can't remember if you have a P35 or X38 mobo but you should be able to achieve very similiar memory speed with either chipset as long as you are using DDR2 1066 memory or very good (OC'able) DDR2 800.
BTW, I'm using sandra pro business 2007.6.11.40

Sisoft Sandra 2005 no longer runs as Sisoft stopped supporting it completely. You can wind the date back a couple of years and it may run. Sam had a program that gave the program date info that was prior to Sisoft pulling the plug on 2005, every time you run it. One day it worked and the next day I had to upgrade to 2007!
