The cpu appears to be supported vy my motherboard according to the manual. Installed it. After pushing power button it starts. Cpu fan starts but there is no video. Put bac old cpu an all is fine. What to do ?

Hi frwl

You could try to remove the motherboard battery to reset the BIOS.

If the PC still fails to boot with the new processor, it can only be:

1. A faulty processor

2. Not compatible with your motherboard (is it the right socket processor for it?)

Hello,
I removed the battery to reset the bios. still not working.

Well, it can only be one of the two points I mentioned in my earlier post.

Do you have another compatible motherboard you can try the new processor in?

[frwl]

Unfortunatly no... the seller told me that the cpu is working

OK, if the CPU is definately working, it can only be the wrong type for your motherboard, or it is not supported in BIOS.

Will your seller swap it for you?

The bios is updated to the last version, in the laptop manual that processor is listed as supported. The old and new proc look the same, the new one enters by himself in the socket but i have no video, put the old back an i have video.
I`ll have. To talk with the seller for a refund, but ut would be nice if that proc would work...

I think i found the problem. It's the chipset gl60 it doesn!t support fsb higher than 800

Ah, as I thought then - the motherboard was not compatible.

Oh well, at least you've now found the reason!
