I tried to upgrade to a 1.33 ghz tbird on an Abit kt7a mobo. I installed the cpu and hsf with arctic silver. When I booted, the power light came on, the fans were spinning, but no post. Nothing appeared on the monitor, just a dark screen. I put the old tbird in and it fired right up? Did I get a bad cpu? Or did I overlook something? Thanks for your help!!!
