I have an Asus P4PE BP motherboard (533 fsb) with a P4 2.4 ghz processor that works fine. I installed a P4 3.06 ghz processor but the system won't boot. The motherboard reports a cpu test failure (it has a voice POST reporter). I tried entering setup using the 2.4 processor but it won't let me change the cpu speed. The two choices are 2400 mhz and manual. The bios recognized the 2.4 cpu when I first built the system but now doesn't recognize the new cpu. The Asus site says the motherboard supports this processor in all bios versions. I took the processor to a local shop for testing and it's okay. Any help will be appreciated.

P4PE supports 800Mhz CPUs WHEN overclocked, as per their specs. That would mean either BIOS update or manual overclocking through jumpers or BIOS settings. I'd update the BIOS to the latest.

Your mobo looks like it only supports 533 fsb, so why do you think you can put a 800fsb cpu in it? Intel might be differnet than AMD but you cant put a 400 barton in a socket A mobo that only supports up to 333 normally and expect it to work.

- Supported Processors: Intel Pentium 4 (Willamette / Northwood) with the bus speed 400/533 MHz,
- Intel Celeron (Willamette/ Northwood) with the bus speed 400 MHz;
- Socket 478
- Support for processors with the HyperThreading enabled

a 3.06 mhz proc is a 533 fsb cpu!

Wow I thought i saw that it was 800fsb, I'm seeing things.
