Hi guys, i currently own this pc:
specs
E5200 Dual Core 2.5ghz
dg35ec Intel m/b
4gb ram.
nvidia geforce gt 9400
windows 10
450 watt power supply.
and i got my hands on a tested (supposedly working) intel q9400 cpu, my plans were to switch it with my old e5200 so i did this:
I turn off the pc, remove power cable, remove other cables, unplug the fan that is over the cpu, remove the e5200 from the socket, apply some thermal paste to the new cpu (just a drop), secure good the new cpu, plug the fan, attach it, secure it, everything normal, plug the cables and thats it; when i turn on the pc, first weird thing, no bios intel splash on the startup, ok, windows loads (little circle white dots moving telling me its loading), i sign in and everything is ok, even surf the web a little bit; so, i restart the pc just to see if everything is going ok, and the bios splash screen didnt showd up again and then the windows icon (the blue one, for the ones who know about w10) appears, but not the white circle dots moving around; ive been looking around for what the problem is but cant catch up with the answer; i dont think the cpu is dead cause the w10 blue icon appears but idk; a little help here? please.
my bios is 0118, should support the q9400 since the 0072
when i do everything again but changing to my old e5200 again everything works flawlessly as always, (im writing from this pc right now)
obviously english its not my main language so be kind please
UPDATE 1
i tried to downgrade the bios but that didnt work
UPDATE 2
when i insert a cd with the q9400 i manage to get the bios screen and also get into it, the hardware monitoring in the bios throws me an amazing procesor temperature of 102`C... also, que bios says what is the cpu clock speed but doesnt say its name as it does with the e5200... still cant make the q9400 work
