I recent purchased new memory for my Intel D975XBX Motherboard.
It has the latest BIOS Update.

Using Crucial memory configurator I bought the CT2KIT25664AA1067

When I go into BIOS, it reports SPD Not Supported! Although the machine boots and run fine.

Here is a link for the CPUZ Information: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2014739

I have a new Processor for the system, but am waiting on resolving this issue first.
E6700, 3.2 Ghz, 2Mb Cache


Any Ideas?

OK< another issue...

On Intel's page it shows with the updated BIOS I can use the E4700 Processor.
When I put it in the system, I get nothing.

I would re-instal windows and start from the beginning. As if it were a new build. That way you know for sure that there are no driver conflicts.

By I get nothing, I mean no POST/BIOS Screens

The Power Light comes on, Fans Spin and no video or activity.

Put the old Pentium-D in and boots just fine.

The intel d975bx was a earlier model of intel d975bx2 (bad axe) I have the bad axe 2 model. Pull the bsod battery and see if that helps. http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d975xbx/ do all the spec match up? Looks like it depends on what revision of motherboard you have. http://processormatch.intel.com/COMPDB/ ... me=d975xbx It seems to matter. http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/ ... lamp=False

Per that page :
E4700 ° 2.60 GHz °No ° 2 MB ° 800 MHz° 1478 ° All<-All Revisions

Sorry about that, I was looking at the E6700. It should work. Make sure all your connections are good.

Very strange, went down this road to save time when my ASUS P5B died.....

Should have gone all new with i5 ori7

Will look some more.....

Will Intel Support help?

Have you tried disconnecting the power and the battery? Doing that will clear the CMOS, I usually leave it disconnected/removed for a few minutes while periodically holding the power button down to make sure all the caps have been discharged.

That's what I meant to say.

I agree.

Yes, hard cleared the BIOS, No Help

I had some of the same issues with the D975XBX2 with 4GB of Ram. I moved to 8GB(maxed out) and the latest bios; all problems cleared up. Runs like a clock for last 3 years.

Well I have the D975XBX, not the D975XBX2
But thanks for the input.

In process of getting a whole new Ivy Bridge setup
