Hey Guys,
I was using an Intel Pentium E2140 @ 1.60 Ghz processor for a long time. My motherboard is of 775 LGA socket type. After making a number of researches in the internet and online forums, I came to know that my current motherboard (775 LGA socket type) can support Core 2 Duo processor. Today, I purchased a second hand Core 2 Duo processor 2.93 GHz 3M Cache. I tried booting up the system after replacing my old CPU with the one that I got today. But, the system didn't boot at all. Once after pressing the power button in the CPU Cabinet, the CPU fan started running and I could see the LENOVO branding name in the monitor. However, the system freezes there itself and no more sign of proceedings further. I couldn't proceed into BIOS settings either. What might be the possible solutions for this? Was the CPU not supported by my motherboard?
