HI
I have an old Lenovo ThinkCenter that recently stopped working. Doesn't boot, no post no video, no beep. I am thinking of throwing a cpu at it as they are cheap. I already did lots of troubleshooting and narrowed it down to the cpu or motherboard
The current cpu is Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz. Sound I consider a better cpu that would work in this application.
Here is link to a list of replacement cpus from Lenovo.
