I bought a 2.8 GHz Prescott CPU with FSB 533 MHz today.
Plugging it to the motherboard, my computer simply failed to boot.
No signal to the monitor nor the keyboard. i.e. everything was just blank while the CPU fan and the hard disk drives are still working though...
I already have the latest BIOS with the Windows XP SP2 hotfix.
I think it is the motherboard that couldn't recognise the Prescott CPU (as it was designed for Northwood).
Is there any chance that my computer will boot? Else my $$ would have been wasted...
Here's my computer specs:
System Model: Compaq Presario 6035CL
Processor(old): 2.00 GHz Intel Pentium 4
8 KB L1
512 KB L2
Board: Compaq 07E8h
Bus Clock: 400 megahertz
BIOS: Compaq 686O2 v3.13 (2003)
HDD:
Seagate 320 GB
Slot 'DIMM1' and slot 'DIMM2' each contained a 1GB DDR400 Samsung RAM.
Thank you very much ><
