I tried to install an FX-4100 CPU into my Dell Inspiron 531 on the Latest BIOS revision, and when I start my PC, it powers on for just a couple of seconds before it shuts off again. there was no beep from the motherboard. I have tested the CPU in other PCs and it works, my motherboard is being used right now, so that is not the problem. all of my components work fine. Any suggestions?

Well it appears so. I guess i'll have to sell this CPU and by an Athlon X2 6000+ or something of the likes. Thank you.
