i have a old p4 computer that failed today.

when i turn it on it boots right to bios

it then says the cpu speed is incorrect i never touched the settings so i dont know why the original speed is wrong.

then when i reboot the coputer it has 1 long beep.

tried everything.

switched out ram video card psu.

1 thing is bothering me though.

when i put in a 3.0 cpu it doesnt display anything or have beeps but when i put the 2.4 cpu back in it goes to bios or beeps
 
3.0 CPU is bad, or is doing something wonky to prevent bootup.

Time to start swapping parts to figure out what is wrong.
 
Does the motherboard support Prescott CPUs?(3.0-3.4 GHz) Other than that,if the CPU is supported, mayhave to set the speed in the BIOS or the failsafe defaults.
