I put together a PC out of parts that I ordered seperately online to save cash, and unfortunately it fails to boot.
I am using an ECS LGA 775 661FX-M7 motherboard, and I bought a P4 3.0GHz 800FSB 1MB CACHE LGA775 CPU on ebay.
When I attempt to power on the PC, nothing happens, besides every once in a while the processor fan twitches.
I have tried removing all components, except for the processor & fan to only receive the same results.
When I remove the processor, the fan runs and other components turn on.
I'm afraid I was shipped a dead CPU, but I'd like to hear any opinions before I purchase another one.
