What does that mean?


So the BIOS can recognize cpu features reading the cpuid presented off the chip. In looking at the BIOS DL page that was implemented in the second BIOS release.

I guess we should ask what the Release Date is on his currently installed BIOS.

The BIOS DL Page located HERE is a mess. Nothing coincides with the information/dates given on the Supported CPU List found in THIS archive.

Bios revision date 5/2/2006. I thought the latest would be best. The compatibility table shows 11/2004, should I try that bios instead?

Na, I can't see going backwards at this point.

Have you tried reducing your HW as I suggested earlier?

I did reduce the hardware by unplugging my HDs. Your post described the rest of my system. No change. Somebody mentioned cool and quiet. Would that have an effect?

No, your current BIOS fully supports the FX-55.

At this point My next step would be to A: Try a different(Larger) PSU and B: Verify that the CPU is good.

I replaced my antec 430 with a seasonic 550 and now the system powers up but doesn't get to POST. The harddrive light stays on solid and the CD player continuously cycles up. Tried clearing CMOS again.
