My setup is:
GA-EP35-DS3L
Intel E8500
8800 GT
2 GB G. Skill
CoolerMaster 500 W PSU
My E8500 is the E0 stepping, so I flashed the BIOS to F5 with an old P4 processor. Everything boots right up with the P4, but when I put in the E8500, it won't even post. The fans and LEDs start up for a few seconds, then shut down, and cycle over and over.
I tried clearing the CMOS, loading the optimized defaults, and checked the pins. Is there something specific I need to do to get the E8500 to work or did I just get a dead processor?
