I just upgraded my old rig and am now having problems getting it to post...
Old Rig:
ASUS p5ld2 deluxe
Pentium D 820
2 GB DDR2 667 Corsair
WD 120GB Caviar
New Rig: Everything is the same except the new HDD's and the processor
Core 2 duo 2.13 Ghz
2 x 200 GB WD Caviars (Hoping for RAID 0)
I flashed the BIOS to the lastest version b4 the upgrades and I have reset the CMOS, and everything is connected correctly. I have noticed however, that a red light now appears on my video card (Radeon X1800XL) which was not there b4
Im dead in the water right now, school is around the corner, the Pentium D is fried.......HELP!!!!

Hi The red LED usually means that everything is OK as far as the GPU is concerned. The only question I would have is compatibility between a single core and a dual core CPU on the same board. Everything else looks OK. Good luck!
Edit: This site says the mobo supports the Duo-core. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=14936 so it may just be a BIOS setting.

What is the number of the core 2 duo processor. It matters. The E6540 and up have 1333mhz FSB. The mb you supplied only has a 1066mhz fsb max. It may be dual processor ready, but may not be able to handle all the core 2 processors.
