Why my Q9550 do not work in my Asrock G31M-VS2

[Karmzard]

Hello, when I put my Q9550 in my Asrock G31M-VS2 it does not start and it stays on black screen, I update the bios of the motherboard and still nothing, the list of supported cpu's says it supports it, because it does not start my Pc

Which BIOS version did you update the board to? You will need to go into BIOS and check if you're BIOS update went through.

Can you please pass on your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

What was you CPU prior to the Q9550 upgrade? Are you sure you didn't bent any CPU socket pins on the motherboard?

I update the bios to version 1.20 (the last one) and the processor does not double any motherboard pin, currently the motherboard that works with a Pemtium 4 @ 3Ghz (I do not know the exact model) and this is the one I think Upgrade to Q9550

CPU:Intel Pentium 4 @3Ghz
Motherboard:Asrock G31M-VS2
Ram😛atriot 2GB DDR2 667Mhz
HDD: 250GB 2.5"
GPU:Ati Radeon HD 2400 XT/Pro
PSU:Generic 600W
Chassis:Aiteg(I Don´t Know the exact model)
OS:Windows 7 32 Bits

The Q9550 is working in another compatible motherboard?

yep in a pegatron IPM41-D3 But in the asrock cpu support list says that if it supports this card, why not boot?

Did you reset the CMOS after installing the Q9550? Have you tested it without the discrete GPU and with a single memory module? If nothing helps and your Q9550 stepping is C0, C1 or E0, then I'd presume the motherboard has an issue preventing the Q9550 from working.

I will try resetting the CMOS and without GPU and I have a single RAM module and the cpu is E4

I thought the latest stepping was E0 and E4 isn't on the list. What's the S-Spec of that CPU?

C0 = SLAN4
C1 = SLAWQ
E0 = SLB8V
E4 = ?
