SN45G not booting with new cpu

[thevelourfog]

I have an SN45G with a 1700+ in it and had some spare parts to throw in it. So I installed a 2500+ and when booting up just got a black screen. After resetting cmos, it still wouldn't work. As a result, I reinstalled the 1700+ and it booted up fine.

I know this 2500+ works because it came out of my spare computer which was working fine beore I took it apart (a week ago). I'm thinking about flashing the bios on the shuttle, but I know they're pretty finicky about that sort of thing and the shuttle site is currently down.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

The sn45g uses the Nforce 2 ultra 400 chipset, the last and best nforce 2 chipset. The only issue i can see compatibility wise is it is a mobile 2500+ on a version 1 board. Version 2 and up support mobiles without a bios flash. Other that that............try reseating your ram?
