Hello All!

I've juste bougt a A7N8X-VM/400 and a Sempron 2400+ but I can't boot
my system: I have only a black screen (but no beep as when there is a
RAM problem).

I try another CPU (an Athlon XP 2400+) and it's run perfectly.
Then I upgrade the BIOS to the latest bios (version 1003 as
recommended
on the ASUS web site). But the Sempron 2400+ still don't work!

Is somebody have this problem ?

Thanks.

That is not quite the latest BIOS, but it should still work.

I recently successfully upgraded a system using that board from
an XP2200+ to a Sempron 3000+ after an upgrading from the 1001
BIOS to the 1004 BIOS.
 
man i thought the bios was up to 1013 now?

It depends on the specific board within the A7N8X product line.
For this one 1004 was the latest at the time I posted.

Thnks Rob Stow

but 1004 is a beta bios.

I've used it in exactly one system - and only because the owner
insisted I use the latest BIOS even if it was a beta.

No negative feedback from the owner so far so I am assuming that
all is well.
 
This is from the ASUS website.Sempron 2400+ (Model 8) ALL 1012 System will
not boot with this processor before updating to version 1012.

You must be looking at the downloads for a different motherboard.
For the A7N8X-VM/400 the latest release is 1003 and the latest
beta is 1004.
