hi, i recently decided to install a new CPU on an old motherboard i had, its an Elite Group K7S5A, i did some research and found that the best CPU i could use would be an Athlon xp 2400. I have also looked around for a bios update, and i installed the latest one i could find sucessfully. But when i put the New CPU in im not getting anything showing up on my screen!, its really recking my head!
could do with some help please??

Does the old chip still work?

If it doesnt then the board is muffed.

If it does than the new chip is dead, wasnt fitted properly or you didnt flash the bios properly.

ye the old chip works fine, i updated the bios with the old chip in as i cant see anything on the screen with the new one! But im not sure if i have the latest bios, the one i could find was dated 2004, is there likely to be a newer version?

Take a look Around the Elite Group website HERE and you are bound to come up with a newer BIOS Update.
