Intel Board D915PBL and CPU SL7J8 help

idata — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:07:50 GMT

Either the mobo or the cpu is bad and would like to replace one or both components with hope that 1st item replaced will fix problem without having to replace both. I want to try replacing the CPU 1st with the cheapest available alternative. If that fails, then replace the 2nd item, mobo, with the cheapest alternative that will be compatible with the newly-purchased cpu replacement purchased in my 1st fix attempt. Chronic issues with black screen with no beep errors and no post (nothing for that matter.) Have tried many times to reconfig with no success.

cpu:

Intel Pentium 4, '03

3.40 ghz/1M/800

SL7J8 Malay

L420A990

MoBo:

Intel D915PBL

There are still lots of LGA775 board available in the market. You should be OK. Both your CPU and motherboard are rather old and a new machine would do you wonders especially with the new i7 block of processors and the faster performance of new gneration DDR3.

I agree with Vegan. That motherboard is End of Interactive Support and End Of Life. You can get better performance and maybe even cheaper than troubleshoot this problem.

Still if you want to troubleshoot it here is a useful guide with the basics:
