Hello, i have an acer predator G3-605 with an intel i5 4430 processor and i upgraded it to an i7 4790. Now when i try to start the computer it does not want to boot or beep even if all of the fans start spinning. I have also upgraded the bios to the latest version and installed it correctly. What should i do?

    Perhaps other users here can chime in with some helpful info on this for you as Acer's support for upgrades is very limited at best. Something to check though:  if you put the original CPU back in, does the system power on and function normally? If not, there could be a problem with the mainboard that will require service. Are you sure the i7 CPU you want to use is indeed functional? We would recommend making sure the original CPU is working if you put it back in, to troubleshoot possible causes.
