Hey Lads,

I've taken my company mail server offline and installed two new Dell supplied CPUs, put everything together turned it on and nothing, the lights/fans are on but no post/video or response of any kind. I went back to the older CPU with exact configuration and it still won't post. If you had any ideas I'd be very very grateful to hear them.

Thank you,

D.
 
Thanks for the replies lads, the CPUs fried the mobo. Luckily (kind of) I had another 2850 and swapped the SCSI controller, this was an Exchange box but the box I swapped over from was a DNS server/secondary domain controller so Exchange is not working correctly due to kerberos authentication and other DNS related fun. I've had some serious fun today already... Anyway I've ordered a 2850 exact config box and I'm hoping that gets everything up and running.

Thanks again.
