Computer not booting with compatible processor

[PRATZiLLA27]

I have a PC with a pentium e5400 and i also have a computer with core 2 duo e7500. Both of these processors have the same socket(lga 775) but when i switched my pentium with the 2duo i got beeping sounds on pressing the power button. When i put back the componets both the computers work fine. Please give a solution to this.

Have you tried updating the board's BIOS?

what is the motherboard you are trying to put the Duo2Core E7500 on to ? make/model/Revision , please

Compatibility depends on motherboard model, not just the CPU socket type.

You haven't even posted the motherboard model! :lol:

Oh sorry! Its a foxconn eton with a g41 chipset. That is all CPU-Z gave me.

Just because its the same socket doesnt mean it's compatible. There are many socket 775 boards that were compatible with the first gen of core 2 architecture but incompatible with the next generations. What is the make and model of the motherboard?

I would do a visual inspection of the board for full name/revision ot it

but Eton 1.0 board onbly supprts the following
* Core 2 Quad Q8400, Q8300, Q9450, Q9550 (Yorkfield core) (95W)
* Core 2 Duo E8500, E8400, E8300, E8200, E7200  (Dual Core) (Wolfdale core) (65W)
* Pentium E5300, E5400, E5700, E6300, E6500 Dual Core (Wolfdale core) (65W) 
* Celeron Dual Core (Conroe core) (65W) 

thus no E7500
