I have an intel socket 775 Intel Pentium 4 3.6ghz single core prossesor and i was trying to upgrade it to an Intel Pentium D 3.4ghz dual core Prossesor. Although when i put the new cpu in the system my computer wouldn't start the power light was on and the fans were running every thing seemed fine but all i had was a black screen, and yes the monitor was plugged in. so I took out the new cpu and put the old old back in and it worked just fine, oh and btw i was using HS compound the whole time as well. So i was wondering if maybe it is as simple as resetting the cmos settings? if someone could help that would be great.
 


You need check the PC manufactures web site or motherboard manual. You may have to update/flash the bios or it may simply not be supported at all.
