So a while back I made a thread about swapping out a Q8400 ,that I happen to own anyways, for the existing E8400 in my Dell Optiplex 755.
I have tried updating the BIOS but Im still getting the orange power light and fullspeed fan when I turn it on with the Q8400 installed.
it doesnt display anything and it will just stay like this until i disconnect the power.
The 275W PSU is definitely sufficient for this CPU because the optiplex 780 that the Q8400 was originally taken from had only a 235W PSU
any ideas what the problem is?
