Your motherboard is probably outdated and cannot run with such a processor in it. That is my guess. You'd probably nee d to buy a new mother board, but because you have a system that was probably made around the same time frame i made mine, I can guess you're running on SDram, inwhich if you went to buy a new mother board you'd need a new motherboard, graphics card and ram (unless you wanted to stick to shitty sd ram when for 40 bucks you can get 256 ddram and it'd probably be better).
well, you bought an intel celeron. that's where the biggest problem is.
ok thanks i will go buy a new one. im running on 512 though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Your problem is that you can't run an intel processor in a motherboard that was designed for an amd chip you need to get a new motherboard and while your at it take that celeron back and get something decent. You could get an amd nforce2 motherboard and an amd xp2500+ for about the same as you paid for that celeron I"m betting.
i just got an Itnel Pentium 4 3.4GHZ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] am i lucky or what. i got a new motherboard too.
What motherboard did u get?
Hope for u it's an Intel compatible board [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
the celerons have a different socket that they attach to, socket 478, than a athlon, socket... 7 i think? One of those but they don't fit with eachother.
if you only got the cpu then you gotta get a new mobo and most definitely gotta get a heat sink if you haven't gotten one already. Ram... ehhhh i've never put together anything other than athlons so i don't know what intel's use, but ususally when you want to upgrade a CPU you should upgrade the suite, CPU, RAM and mobo. look for some howto sites too if you're not familiar with the terminology.
ed. the old 1ghz athlons were socket A. here's intel's support on celeron installation

Seriously, not being mean or anything, but if you need to ask such questions it's probably a good idea to get someone else to build the pc for you.
Ur motherboard is probably made for AMD and u bought a intel celron. =)
