Hello, I decided to upgrade from dual core to quad core and unfortunately I only have a LGA775. I didn't want to spend too much money on a new motherboard and processor so I got a Core 2 Quad Q9450 2nd hand. When I put it in (and I did put it in correctly) and started up I got no signal on my monitor and no beeps or anything, fans and everything was running fine, CPU was warm when I took it out. PSU is fine and brand new, and the processor still worked in another computer.
Specs
Motherboard: ECS G41t M13 LGA775
PSU: Thermaltake Litepower 650 watt
RAM: 4GB
Current CPU: Pentium 4 dual core 3ghz
GPU: GT430
BIOS version: 04/10/2012 latest for my board
Old CPU works fine in my PC so there cant be anything wrong with other hardware. Not a BIOS issue because I have the latest version. I thought about resetting the CMOS but if I want to do it have to drive out to the guy who is selling the CPU to test it and he lives far away from me. So my question is: If I reset the CMOS one of the 3 different ways will it definitely work?
