The Prescott CPU is a socket 478. (They are dream overclockers). I've tried resetting the CMOS via the battery and jumpers to no avail. I've inspected the CPU and there are no burn marks that I can tell. However, the CPU has seem to have made grooves in my heatsink from the nasty clips that hold the heatsink down so tight. I don't know if that means anything though.

I do have another motherboard I can test the CPU in, but I'm not sure if that motherboard is good still. I guess I'll find out when I get home from school.

On the BIOS side of things I do not think the chip is removable/replaceable.

I found my case speaker and put it in (forgot to do that awhile back) and there are no system beeps still.

My motherboard light is on, which according to my manual says the system is either ON, or on SOFTOFF mode. No idea what SOFTOFF mode is though.

If the processor is bad, its not such a big deal twas getting a new one anyway, but right now I guess I am more concerned if the motherboard is bad.

The motherboard is a P4S800D-X that supports either the 533 or 800 Prescott chipsets. Question though... if I overclocked the CPU and the FSB reached over 800, would the motherboard not be able to support that?
