Hi everyone -
I purchased a GA-F2A88X-UP4 motherboard and the salesperson gave me an A6-7400K processor with it.
I built the system tonight and while it does eventually boot, it takes 1-2 minutes to display anything on my monitor. I have tried connecting 2 different monitors -- one via VGA and one using DisplayPort -- and both do the same thing.
When it's trying to POST, I never get any beeps from the system. I do see on the debug screen it switching between either 63 and 64 or b3 and b4.
I'm trying to boot to a USB stick with Caldera DOS. I've tried changing to fast and ultra fast boot in Setup, but it hasn't made much difference.
After working on this for a while, I looked at the compatible CPU list again and I see:
AMD A6-7400K 3500MHz 512KBx2 N/A 758 MHz Kaveri 28nm A1 65W F5
I then looked at my CPU again and I was given this CPU:
AMD A6-7400K Black Edition which is listed as 3.9GHz and listed with core name Steamroller.
Is this a CPU that is compatible with the motherboard?
Trying to track down the POST issue and wondering if this is my main problem.
Thanks...
