fracturedmind: When I built my PC a few months back, the problem I had was exactly like yours. It turned out that my MSI motherboard didn't recognize my AMD XP2400+ CPU. The mobo had been manufactured months before the CPU was released, so the BIOS didn't recognize it. I had to go to MSI and download BIOS updates and flash the BIOS. After I did that (I had to use a friend's older CPU to get the updates installed), it recognized my CPU and booted up no problem.
