Motherboard does not start up when my Q9550 pluget in. It all started when I try to plug in a new video card.

No ram. No Video Card. Only CPU and MB. No post sounds.

CPU was tested at 4 different motherboards. Same result.

What could it be? He died?

what board are you using , the Q9550 has a 1333 FSB , if your board has a Lower FSB it will not work .

Gigabyte EP45 extreme FSB 1600

This may be due to memory?

When memory is not plugged in should be heard any POST sounds?

Q9550 is a good CPU but not for overclocking easy to burn up specialy with high volts.
