Just assembled a new system and it hangs on POST. The MSI MB comes with a 4 LED diagnostic light. The MB hangs with all 4 LEDs lit. According to the manual that means bad CPU or improperly installed CPU.
I wore a ground strap the whole time, carefully aligned the CPU in the socket, paid attention to orientation, checked afterwards that the CPU was snug. Installing the CPU and HS/F went "smooth as silk".
Anyone got any ideas?
Details:
Athlon 64 3000+ 939 Retail
MSI K8T Neo2-F, Via Chipset
2 GB PC3200 DDR (2 x 1GB Patriot)
Asus 8X AGP VGA Card, Basic
Thermaltake 420W Purepower
Hitachi 250G SATA
