Hi,

I a Dell T5400 and I bought a motherboard from eBay, and installed it and turns on but I get an alert that CPU installed in incorrect socket! Every time and it doesn’t go pass the Dell logo. I bought a Used CPu from eBay and installed it. Still the same issue! Can you please help?

Any help would be nice.

Motherboard is same as factory. My previous one was dead. It wouldn’t turn anything on monitor. At least with this motherboards I can see bios and stuff. Motherboard is Foxconn L S-36 Dell intruder Rev A00 and CPU intel Xeon E5430 2.66GHZ
 


Is this your motherboard?

If so, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is, is it in the right socket? Are there any bent pins in the socket you are installing it to?
 
My Bios is reading only CPU 0 but there are two CPU installed. Could this be the problem? Also, when i press F1 (to continue normal) I get a Blue screen of death for split second and computer restarts.
