    I am going to be trying another chip. the other possiblity you mentioned is the bios, but the bios utlity that is listed on the download page is a zip file and if the computer doesn't even boot that is going to be a problem.

    Paul, based on what you just said, I don't think you should attempt to flash the bios without some serious help!

    right here!

    Flashing the bios is a dangerous procedure. The zip file is a collection of compressed files which need to be uncompressed and put on a floppy disk along with boot files. You then start your computer from the floppy disk and run the bios update program. During this time, any power surges, brown outs or outages will result in a completely useless computer because the bios chip will be corrupt.

    So before you start, does the machine have a working floppy disk drive?
    Do you have any clean floppy diskettes to use? Do you actually need to update the bios at all? According to the specs I have seen, if you get a decent processor, it will work fine.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    I tried installing the new cpu and am having the same problem. I can put the old cpu back in and get it to boot. I have linspire 4.5 installed on this computer, is there any way to flash the bios with this operaitng system?

    You flash the bios in dos. You need a dos boot disk (a windows 98 boot disk will do) and the flash utility and the rom or bin file.

    What speed processor and type is this. That shouldn't need to be flashed...
