Microprocessor Problems
During POST, the computer checks the computer's microprocessor and determines its operational specifications. This information is stored in system setup. The computer also determines whether one or two microprocessors are installed, and then verifies whether two installed microprocessors are identical to ensure proper operation.
Basic Checks:
•Check the diagnostic lights to see if the specific problem is identified.
•If two microprocessors are installed, ensure that they are identical. The computer may not start or function properly if two microprocessors are installed that are not identical:
–Different cache sizes
–Different speeds
–Different steppings
–Different types
•If two microprocessors are installed, ensure that a VRM is installed for each processor.
•If two microprocessors are installed, ensure that the VRMs are identical. The computer may not start or function properly if two VRMs are installed that are not identical.
