Hi Support,
I purchased i3-540, 3.06ghz 4MB cache processor togather with S3420gpv motherboard.
However when i plug it up, it doesn't boot up. I have checked through the compatible list before i did the purchase.

The same motherboard i borrow a xeon cpu x3440 processor it can boot up perfectly.
Please advice, Thank

Hi Alexlow,
Check the memory that you are using.
Only DDR3 UDIMMs are supported on Intel® Server Board S3420GP when using Intel® Duo Core® i3 series or Intel® Pentium® processors.

Good Day

With the same ram when i plug in the xeon x3440 it will boot up
Please advice ? Thanks
Could you please share the model number of the RAM that you have used.

Xeon 3400 series and Core i3-540 series have different memory requirements. I'd highly recommand you choose the memory from the list Subhajit provided above.
Also check the following:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-031225.htm TA-943: Board may not boot with certain processors
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-031713.htm BIOS 42 or later required to boot certain processors
Yes, i did try with other types of ram loan by my suppliers, still the same.
Kingston ram listed in the above list as well. doesn't boot up.
Any of those ram, plug with xeon 3440 will boot.
This doesn't make sense.
What's your BIOS version?
