Re: 2 Dead INTEL D845GLAD Mainboards

Hi all,

I have two identical Intel D845GLAD main boards, 2 CPUs, one stick of
working RAM and a reliable PSU. Neither board will post & no beep codes
whatsoever, board A at least switches on and off (Fans kick in), Board B
just sits there like a dead duck.

When CPU B is in Board A, the fans die after 10 seconds; with CPU A the
board sits on happily for hours. Checked thermal paste and chip seating. As
I have no access to a working Intel main board or CPU what can I ascertain
from the difference in behaviour of the processors?
Umm, they're both faulty but in different ways?

Absolutely nothing is my favoured guess at the moment but glad to be
corrected...
Might be worth buying a cheap POST card from eBay, could be BIOS corruption/bad flash on the semi working one..
