I was under the assumption I could upgrade my i3 processor with any intel i-series that had the same socket type. I just bought the i5-3570k, updated the bios, installed it, but the computer did not boot. Instead it made 4 long beeps (0.5 seconds each) and sat idle without booting. I am unable to find the beep code for this. Is there something I'm missing with the installation?
Can I replace i3 with i5 in Acer X3960?

Hi, your motherboard is H67 Express Chipset and it can use only 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors

You can't use 3570k on that motherboard unfortunatelly
