thats odd because i have an intel duo core 3.0 ghz and my comp will start up but not even my bios pop up my moniter doesn't even have a signal, and i got lga 775 like my mobo said.
Hmmm. If you have a Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz, that sounds like the E6850 Conroe, w/ fsb of 1333Mhz which as Codex pointed out is not supported by your current motherboard. Is this the processor you actually have?
