I have a new ECS 865-M7 v2.0 motherboard and a Intel P4 531+ 3Ghz 800Mhz FSB 1Mb L2 CPU. All else is from previous machine. The first time I turned on the machine I received a code stating the CPU had changed press F1 to Continue DEL to start BIOS setup. I went through several restarts trying to figure out where to set CPU. I finally set BIOS to optimized and the CPU changed message went away. Then it went into a long list verifying DMI or something to that affect. Then shut donw again. I finally got to a screen that said Windows hadn't shut down normally. so I tried Safe Mode and Normal, but computer shut down again. I've tried exchanging the memory. I have two memory "boards" one 256Mb and one 512Mb same brand etc. Still shuts down automaticaly. I finally set just one hard drive and it still shuts down automatically in the middle of booting. Please help.
PS This is my 7th or 8th computer build.
