I just picked up an Asus p5vd-x and a pentium 4 dual core e6300. I have the system all put together but when I start it up it will not boot. I have removed all memory and tried, nothing. Added just one stick back, nothing, no drives nothing, just the hard drive nothing. Anything I can do to figure out if its the chip or the MB besided take it somewhere?

Hi, I think you've got some things wrong. There is no such thing as a Pentium 4 E6300 dual core. The E6300 is not a Pentium4, it's a totally different CPU, which uses the same socket, but only mechanically. But anyway, here
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=206&model=584&modelmenu=1
it doesn't mention the Core2 Duo, so it may be that it doesn't work. But on other pages, it says it will, so you may just need a BIOS update.

yes thanks for the correction
Ya i realized after the bost. It is a core 2 duo e6300. and some places it says it will work. How would I go about finding out if its a bad md or just an incompatible chip? Got a good deal on the chip but not good enough if it won't work on the md

according to asus cpu support list, C2D arent supported for your board...

Being that you picked up that board, i recommend returning it and getting something else.

If you look here
http://support.asus.com.tw/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
and select your board, it doesn't list the Core2 Duo, I'm afraid.
But here in the BIOS area it says something about new CPUs
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5VD1-X
but that may just be about latest Celerons. So it looks like Core2 Duo doesn't work. Does anyone else have different info?

If you want a cheap board that supports it and still use DDR memory and such, get an Asrock 4Core Dual VSTA. You can use AGP and DDR now and even use PCIe and DDR2 later with that board.

exchanging a core 2 duo for a pentium D would be one big leap backwards in performance!! Do what jadawin suggested and change the board with that nice Asrock one
