Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor - Retail. Hi i recently bought this processor and rest of the stuff to make a new computer for myself. The motherboard is Asus Rampage Formula Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard.
Problem i had after putting everything together, checking over all the connections that when i turned it on, all the motherboard lights came on everything worked fine apart from the fact that there was nothing on the screen the pc wasnt posting and the motherboards error LCD poster showed the error CPU initialise. So i began testing all the parts in my brothers computer and everything was working apart from the processor, thus to reconfirm that it was the processor which was faulty i put the new system back together again and used my old processor. It worked, everything was running fine on my old processor thus this surely has to be a faulty processor or am i missing something obvious?
