Re: P4 Socket 775, SATA HD, Won't boot!

You went to the wrong place for CPU/Motherboard compatibility - MS makes
software and some miscellaneous hardware, such as mice, keyboards, joysticks
and the such - not major hardware.

There is good source that will be good for you to research:
http://www.intel.com since both hardware pieces are Intel, a P4 Socket 775
Prescott CPU and motherboard.

Just a guess, either something is not connected or configured correctly,
again a good reason to review your motherboard and CPU information, either
the physical documentation that accompanied both pieces of hardware or
online, at the site I mentioned above.
