ok so, i just purchased a intel qx6700 quad core extreme clocked at 2.66 and i still have not purchased 1066 ram and am imploring 833 ram.

my main issue is the when i try to boot with my new cpu the computer turns on then shuts off in rapid succession until i flip the psu off.

When i put my old chip in it works fine.

What could my problem be?

a msi neo2-p i know it supports the chip though. and it supports up to 1333 fsb.

im not using 1333 ram tho im using 833 and soon to be 1066.

but the bios should be no reason for instant crashes.

i have 3 seconds from boot to shutdown and between that the comp doesn't make one noise or show one thing.

your cpu might not compatible with the board or the ram....try researching for compatible accessories for your mobo...U

if you refer to the second link you will find that the board only supports 800 and 1066 MHz RAM, however the 800MHz need to be manually configured!

If the Current rating of the Power Supply is off or it is not producing enough current the symptoms are exactly what you will see.

This week I had a Dual Core Intel unit stop well the Video output went off and when the customer rebooted the computer failed to start up it would cycle through a Power On with no display or any noise and then shut sown and then start again. Anyway the outcome was that in that case the PS was dead or at least not working correctly and needed replacing even though it checked out with a ATX Power Supply Tester the voltages where correct but the Current was way down and the system didn't have enough power to start let alone run.

So if you don't have a Known Good PS rated to at least 450 W or higher replace the one that you have with a higher power one and see if it now works. If everything is correctly assembled I'm betting that it will spring to life without a problem though you may need to look at Intel's Web Site to see what RAM is compatible with your Quad Core CPU that is another possibility.

to answer most all these

1. I know my board supports the Chip and ram or elts i wouldn't have purchased it.

2. I have the 800 ram pre configured, and im going to be testing some reaper ram (1066) soon.

3. I have a 750W PSU and im using about 500W, i know it works as it has been tested. (psu is a corsair silencer crossfire edition)

4. it has silver oxide and a liquid cooling heat sink running. (i know cooling runs because i can see fluid moving on temp boot)

Im basically thinking it wont boot because the cpu doesn't support 800 ram.
