no, intel also, although they do seem to be much more robust in terms of posting abilities... | |

I previously worked @ a computer firm for 4 years, repairing and building machines, we have had several AMD CPU's that wouldnt even let a board even POST | |

can be a real simple explanation, something metallic (dust?) shorting on the board. give it a good brush with a non-nylon brush | |

if its dead, its dead usually, check the capacitors for bulging on the tops. Any that are bulging are blown and you can try and solder some replacements in if you like. | |
