Hi,
Hope I'm on the right forum for this...
I just installed a new CPU, and since then, I cannot boot anymore.
I only get the startup screen with message: "press tab for post, press del for bios". But whatever I press, nothing happens. The system shuts down after a minute or so.
There even is no beep.
Mobo: MSI P35 Neo F (http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P35_Neo.html#support-cpu)
AMI Bios
Old CPU: Core 2 Duo E6420 (worked perfect)
New CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9650 (should be compatible)
What should I do now?
Should I update BIOS? The pc is like 8 years old so I suppose it needs an update for newer CPU's.
And how should I do that if I cannot start.
Or should I try again with the old CPU first to check if nothing is wrong with the motherboard, to verify it's not the CPU or something that fried the motherboard while installing the new cpu?
If anyone can help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
