AV8 Wont Start Up

just installed my new AV8 motherboard into my system, AMD Athlon 3500+, 2x
512ddr400 ram, ge force 4 ti4200 graphics card (untill i can affored new
one, but works on my old pc 2) sata 200gig hard drive. When i turn my system
on, everything starts up, hard drive cd drives fans etc, but then nothing
happens, the moniter does not come on or anything, i get a error code of
..0.4 which is not listed in my manual? my processor is a winchester chip, i
read somewere that you need to update the bios for the av8 to work with the
winchester chip? is this true? if it is true how can i update my bios
because i dont have a processor to boot with? Thanks, Danny.

ok got it working now, wasnt my processor not compatable with the bios, it
was the manual telling me to put the RAM in wrong, it says put in 2
identicle ram stick in dimm1 and 2 or 3 and 4 so i tried 1 and 3 and now its
working fine :S with all ram showing up on system 2, Thanks again, Danny
