Question Computer freezing after CPU UPGRADE.

[kharola]

I have a Zebronics Mobo with
Pentium D, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD. The mobo had some issues it was not booting up,sent it for service they found fault in processor and mobo, upgraded my processor to Core 2 Duo.
BIOS runs fine now however when I try to install windows through usb ,it freezes at 'windows is loading files screen.'
I tried running memtest x86 it is also freezing after running for 7 mins.
Next thing I tried was to run Bionic Pup Linux Live USB which is also getting stuck at loading files.
What could be cause and how should i find it ?

If they are right, both of cpu and MB have problem, you need to get the MB too, not just buy the cpu.

Please list your full system's specs like so:

Have you made sure you're on the latest BIOS update? You may want to inspect the CPU socket for any bent/broken pins.
