I'm having a problem with this PC with components I bought from various sources. It's an Intel D955XBK with a Pentium D 805, 2.66 cpu. The Intel website actually doesn't list this cpu as compatible even though it lists all the other Pentium Ds. The computer won't post but fans spin up and lights are on. No audible post codes either, should I look into getting a new CPU?

Thanks everyone,

Sean
 
Have you used the board with another CPU before? And/or have you used the CPU on another mobo before?

Also, have you checked to see if everything is plugged in, like the 8pin CPU power socket (don't mistake 8pin CPU with 8pin PCIE)?
 
Also, look through the stickied Basic Troubleshooting guide to see what to do when the system does not POST.
 
Yeah, I've checked all the power supply cables and made sure they were all properly plugged in. I think the problem is because the CPU is 533 fsb.. the only Pentium D that is I believe and the board supports 800 and 1066.
 
I don't think 955X officially supports 533Mhz CPUs. :( Though, I could be wrong.
