Possible Dead Mobo and CPU?

[Infiniti]

Now, before everything that happened, things were all working fine.

Anyway, today, I was swapping out my Q6600 for an E7200. When I put in the E7200, it didn't post. I cleared CMOS, still nothing. So I take my E2200 out of my server and put it in my computer, hoping it's just my E7200. Nothing. I also put the E7200 in my server, but it still didn't post.

Does this mean I somehow killed my mobo and CPU? Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I cleared CMOS both times, but still nothing. The E2200 in my server still works fine as of now though.

Seems kinda odd that both would die that easily....

Yeah that's the thing, that's why I was wondering if I'm missing anything.

BIOS update for 45nm processors?

Oh yeah, that could be why the E7200 wasn't working on my server's mobo, but that doesn't explain why the E2200 won't work on my main computer.

did you try putting the q6600 back in?

and aye, BIOS update for 45nm

Dead PSU?

And Yeah, try putting the q6600 back.

The reason I had to swap it out was that I was giving it to a friend.

Anyway, I think this was all just because of BIOS incompatibilities. I looked on MSI's site, and apparently the E2200 isn't supported with my BIOS version. Same goes for E7200. Guess I'll just have to flash my mobo. Thanks guys!

Any sign of power? Any LEDs, any fans spinning?

Yep, everything gets power. The GPU fan doesn't spin up though.

I need a CPU that's supported by the current BIOS to flash. Anybody in Vancouver have one?
