I've checked official dell site out to find out what that continuously 3 beeps . This error code means that :
Beep codes can be used as diagnostic indicator.3 beeps indicates system board failure.
It may involve any of the following failure :
Chipset Error (North and South bridge error, DMA/IMR/Timer error)
Time-Of-Day Clock test failure
Gate A20 failure
Super I/O chip failure
Keyboard controller test failure
Sandy bridge is 2nd gen.To replace an i3-550 you'll need any first generation Sandy-Bridge Lga1156 cpu.
Thanks for you comment. If looks like you have got big experience about all of it. If you don't mind can you help me or give me a link that could upgrade my cpu family ?Not going to work.
The Pentium B960 is a mobile processor for laptops, and as a Pentium it's 2core/2 thread. The i3-550 is a lga1156 desktop processor. At 2core/4 threads.
If anything you went backwards in ability, but the sockets are totally different and incompatible. To replace an i3-550 you'll need any first generation Sandy-Bridge Lga1156 cpu.
Any help to choose right cpu for my laptop upgrade ?Yeah, not possible. Different sockets, incompatible cpus.
Intel Pentium G6960 - would be compatible with i3-550 though .
OkayPlease put original cpu back into your pc and post screenshot from CPU-Z (cpu section).
Also provide link to cpu, you bought (photo works too).
I have some doubts about actual model names of your cpus.
Yeah it is a laptopSo - it's a laptop? You never mentioned this.

Dell laptop bios updated latest versionOk. That starts to make sense now.
You have a laptop with Intel Pentium B960 and you tried to replace it with i3-2350M.
Should work.
What model laptop? It may require BIOS update.
