I'm a complete noob and have a basic understanding of PC hardware. I've spent the last 4 days reading about hardware compatibility but I've hit a wall now. I have bought an Intel E8500, I've set up my old striker extreme board but can't get the 2 to work. When I try to fire it up the fans start up for approximately 1-2 seconds and then shut off, however I'm running it with an Intel E6550 and works fine, I also tried other CPUs of varying sizes and all worked. I know the E8500 works as I have just been running it on an Intel board with no issues at all. Can anyone please tell me if this is a software or hardware problem. I was planning on updating the bios as the board has been in storage for a few years now.
Thanks.
