what do you mean by "'everything else"?
did you assemble the entire computer? case+psu+disk+D§VDrom+memory+... and everything works?disks turn? broken monitor?

running out of ideas here,  tend do send you to a professional too.
let them do it and  ask to look over their shgoulder?
ask a tech, a pro, to help you?

Are you 100% certain that you've attached the system speaker to the right set of pins as illustrated here?

Getting a picture on your hdtv might involve adjusting the screen resolution on your video card (more problems)

How about borrowing a monitor instead? Any old VGA / CRT monitor will do...

Not one that's been out in the snow tho

does the cpu make the speaker do all the beeps and everything? because if so, the answer has been in front of my face nearly the entire time and i didnt realize it. i looked at my cpu support list, and my cpu was not on there at all. how could i have been so stupid?

[HundertzehnGustav]

uh... yes? ???

cannot put any CPU into any Mobo socket?

AAARGH redrum!
i dont even want to BEGIN imagining what you might possibly potentially have done, or not done...

[RedrumSalad]

uuurrrgghhh!!!! i feel so stupid right now! could that have harmed anything in any way?

[HundertzehnGustav]

depends!
uhm, really depends.

tell us, whats the name of your CPU you wanna use, written on it?!

have re red the first pages of the thread... but not found the CPU type anywhere? I supposed you have a CPU that is designed for the Motherboard?

[RedrumSalad]

the cpu i have is an AMD Phenom x4 9650 @ 2.3GHz, the one i want is an AMD Phenom II x4 965 @3.4GHz

EDIT: and yes, i used an AMD cpu for an AMD socket motherboard, it was unfortunately an AM2+ socket cpu into an AM3 socket mobo, and it was not on the list of supported cpu's anyways

[HundertzehnGustav]

...and if you do not have a good CPU for the mobo, the mobo IS - and WILL BE - a piece of worthless scheisse that will never do anything, only beep, keep beeping and so forth.

so, back to basics:
do not mess with your hardware untill you have all the right components that you need to build a PC.
Wait, leave your stuff untouched, and take to your tools when the setup is complete.

[RedrumSalad]

all i need is a cpu and im good.

[HundertzehnGustav]

bumppp?

[GeneralPsycho]

How did you order a wrong CPU in the first place??? Just buy a new one, put it in, apply thermal paste, put cooler on, and try to boot.

And for god's sake, send the computer parts to a pro to build it for you. Every step you make makes more things get fvcked up.

[RedrumSalad]

@GeneralPsycho: well, sir, i did not order a cpu, i used the one that came with my computer and it was not compatible with my motherboard. do not get pissy with me, as it will get u no where. the cpu im looking at is compatible with my motherboard, but i can't get it yet due to unforeseen personal circumstances, and i will get that new cpu asap, and hopefully all will be fine. the reason im not sending it to a pro is because im spending enough money as it is upgrading my computer, i know what im doing, i just didnt look into compatibility issues as much as i should have. ive realized this mistake. but im just a kid, no older than 14, and i have to learn from my mistakes so i dont make them again, thats really what childhood is about. and once i get this cpu, all should be well.

@HundertzehnGustav: still working on getting the cpu, by the looks of it, it will be about 3 weeks still
