So I had a pentium 4 processor and that wasn't enough for me as it was too slow I just bought a core 2 duo and put it in my motherboard but when I try to turn it on it shuts down roughly after 1 second or sometimes 3 I have reset my bios by taking the power cable out an taking the battery out because my motherboard is one of the really old ones that don't have the 3 pin connector thing and I obviously can't press f10 because it turns off after a second so can anyone please help me?
 
I'm going to find out the model of my motherboard now because I put my old CPU in but I have a intel motherboard can Intel CPUs be incompatible with intel motherboards? And how do I update my bios I know how to reset it but not how to update it
 


oh that makes me sad i was hoping to be able to play some games today oh well so how do i find out which mother board is compatible with the core 2 duo?
