I have a amd 2000 on a Msi K7n2 Delta2 Platinum mobo 1 gig 3200 corsair
9600 pro agp vid card every thing ran great ....i put a Amd 3000 400 fsb processor in it and now after i shut down .... i have to turn on machine shut it down flip the switch on back on power supp (Sparkle 350)
turn on computer and purge the power then turn on power supp and start computer what a hassle.
if i just try to restart it will just sit there and 2 leds on my memory will light up but wont start boot sequence... it wont start unless i purge all power

now that u have upgraded the processor.....that power supply may not be handling that load...may need to get a more powerful power supply, or the pow. sup. may just be on its way out. see what the new amd u got recommends for a power supply.

yeah but the computer turns on after he does all those things.

purge the power? what's that?

i think he means purging the power is disconnecting the pow cable from the comp and pressing the on button a couple times or holding it down to get rid of any electrical buildup inside the computer.
