green xp agoga 0204 dead on arrival

[magnusr]

Someone I know received a green xp week 04 year 2002. He put it in his soltek motherboard and nothing happend.

I tried it in my asus a7v333 (bios 1006) and nothing happend. Except the speaker told me that system failed cpu...... something.

Is there a trick to get it working? Something special with the green ones?

This is strange a few months ago I saw a dead on arrival tbird 1100. A high ratio of dead ones.... I do not see new cpus everyday.

Any help with this green one would be great. Maybe I am missing something?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hmm. It should really just boot right up in one of the motherboards. Maybe it was chipped, or not mounted properly orginally, got damaged somehow.

Id send it back asap while its still replacable, and hope for better luck with the next one :)

I agree with Player0 on this...RMA the processor while you can.

There really is no "trick" to it. It should boot straight away. Common problems with no boot CPUs tend to be either trying to boot without a HSF (which means the CPU was toasted within seconds), or the processor is not fully seated into the socket. Make sure the gold triangle points to the socket lever and make sure the temp probe in the socket (if you have one) is not pushing up the processor and not allowing it to fully seat.

Good luck!

The cpu did not have a scratch on it. The guy who gave it to me for testing said that he did do everything correctly.

And since I am not his dealer or has anything to do with his warranty I can't see any reason for that kid to lie to me...

No scrateches or anything on the core......

Well I gave it back to him. And told him to return it. But I quickly ordered an xp 1800+ from the same place. I probably have a good chance to recieve a cpu with the same core.

As far as I have heard the agoga cores are supposed to be good. Anyone tried an agoga week 0204?

This ****ty XP 1700+ week 0148 I am running now only does about 1580MHz stable at deafult voltage. My old tbird AXIA 1,33 hit 1533MHz stable at default voltage on the 25.04 2001. Over a year ago. Come on there got to be some improvments during this time.

Where did more's law go to?
