cpu upgrade problem.?

Motherboard--------------ECS G33T-M2

old CPU--------------------Intel Celeron 430 Conroe 1.8 Ghz

new CPU------------------Pentium D Dual Core 3.2 GHz SL88R

I've tried:

-clearing CMOS

-upgrading bios

-putting old cpu back(worked)

-unplugged unnecessary connections

-checked if motherboard was compatible

Computer starts up, with all the fans moving,

but nothing appears on the screen and no beep(s)

I checked and the CPU IS COMPATIBLE!

(format created by Marcus Abukari, I did not creat or come up with this format i just seen that he had same problem as me and explained it perfectly i just changed the specs.)

Update:

yes its a dual core

Update 3:

lol screw it. Im going to just sell it =) i bought a LGA775 Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500 2.93GHz 2MB for real cheap. So is that better then the celeron i had?

  • Do you have a Pentium D processor or a Pentium Dual Core Processor? The two are completely different (A Pentium D is basically a dual core Pentium 4, whereas a Pentium Dual Core is a low end Core 2 Duo).

    That motherboard is only compatible with Pentium Dual Core processors, so if it's actually a Pentium D processor, it won't work.

    EDIT:

    A Pentium D is also not necessarily much faster, since it's much older than that Celeron.

    EDIT 2:

    I looked up the SL88R and it's a Pentium D, not dual core. It won't work.

  • Examine the processor socket carefully for bent pins. You will need a powerful magnifying glass and good light for this job.

    The Pentium D isn't on the list of supported processors, but since it supports up to a Core2Quad it should work.

  • many times, changing a CPU on a workstation isn't value-effectual. the reason in the back of it particularly is as a results of socket style and thermal limits, your available improve thoughts are very constrained. oftentimes around 10% is the superb overall performance improve you could desire for. pondering the fee of the CPU, value of installation, the better hazard of overheating and the lack of overall performance income it merely isn't worth it. That reported, you're in basic terms going to have the ability to enhance to Turion sixty 4 CPU's. The Phenom CPU's are all a distinctive socket style.

  • "I checked and the CPU IS COMPATIBLE!" - Where did you check?

    No where on the supported CPU list is your processor listed: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_D... None of the Pentium D processors are supported.

  • Check connections on everything, sounds like something isnt hooked in right. maybe your GPU is knocked slightly out of place or doesnt have enough power to it.
