We, my son-in-law, grandson, and myself are trying to build a gaming =
machine. So far we have assembled the following:

CPU is intel Pentium 4 3.0G (800Mhz)

Mobo is Aopen AX4C Max, Intel 875P Chipset Ultra ATA133 ATX Form =
FActor w/1AGP98X), 5xPCI + a lot of other stuff

RAM is Crucial / Micron 512MB PC3200 400Mhz CL3 DDR DIMM (1 stick)

Vid card is ATI | Radeon 9800 Pro 128M 8X RTL

Harddrive is WD Caviar 205 BA 20.5gegs connected to mobo with 80 =
wire flat cable, just formatted for fresh install

Monitor is a 17 inch KDS Visual Sensations 19" and has been working =
flawlessly for a while.

3.5" A drive

Nothing else

When it is switched on the fans start working, an LED on the mobo =
flashes once and another comes on steady, nothing on the monitor except =
it's on self test which comes on if nothing else comes on, and a squeky =
scratchy voice on the pc speaker which sounds like it's saying "CPU idi" =
or "CPU edi" or maybe "CPUvdi" or no telling what.

The mobo and cpu were ordered as a compatable unit from mwave.com but =
not assembled. The cpu had an intel inside label on the flat side that =
mounts to the fan heat sink. That label was removed. The ram was =
ordered seperate. The monitor and HDD were on a previously owned =
computer and working fine.

Can anyone suggest a solution or advice on the compatability of these =
parts.

thx
Tommy Mathis

Three things I can think of to try. First, make sure that the extra P4 power
plug is connected. It is located next to the first memory slot. Second, try
resetting the CMOS jumper. Some boards need to have this done if you change
a CPU, and I am assuming the board may have possibly been tested with a
different CPU at the factory. Third, you might have a marginal power supply.
Try another known working unit with the extra P4 power plug. Please post
back with your results.

Does it not need at least 2 sticks of memory, working in pair?

It shouldn't. DDR motherboards will run with one stick of memory. The P4
boards that use Rambus memory do need matched pairs of memory sticks, but
that doesn't apply here.

SilentTek 2 not available on any mobo? And what is the "be.. - I'm looking for a new mobo for some time now. I've compared some boards and found the AX4C Max II quiet nice. But as I was looking again today I compared the Max II against the AX4C Max. I thought the Max II had SilentTek 2, but I found out that there..

MoBo Upgrade - I have a AX6B+ w/ PII 400. Old and slow. I would like to upgrade my board and CPU. But I want to use my drives (ATA100s) and maybe my memory. I don't want to go all new. I would even consider a used board. What are my options?

HP Pavilion Need New MoBo - I have an HP Pavilion 6540C with a 466Mh Celeron processor, and would like to upgrade it to an AMD Athalon 2800+ Barton. Can anyone reccomend a motherboard that will fit my case??

I'm sick of mobo makers! - This is my two cents! I don't want to start a war, just want to expose you my opinion. I'm in computer industry for 10 years, working as network manager and technician. I'm sick of all those mobo manufacturers who produce flashy, but poorly designed..

Upgrading CPU in a AX3S mobo. - Hi all, If I install a Intel Pentium 800 or 1000 Mhz in my mother board AOpen AX3S, I will need to update the BIOS too? or thw same BIOS will support the new CPU? Rightnow I'm using a Intel Celeron 766 Mhz. Regards!
