I repplaced a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.10 GHz Proc. with amd athlon 64 x2 5800 3.00ghz proc. in my inspiron 531s and now my comp. would not stay on, what can I do to fix this problem?
 
Name brand machines don't always allow processor upgrades. Just because it's the same socket, doesn't mean it will work. The 5800 is a 85w package and the 4000 is a 65watt package. If the motherboard was only made to work with a 65watt, the 85w might not boot, not enough juice.
