So, I have this my friend's aunt old HP 530 laptop that is damn slow.
Since I have many wrecks in my depot, I found a socket compatibile CPU for it and try to upgrade the old Celeron 420 1.6/1M//533 with a Dual Core T2050 1.6/2M/533.
I updated the BIOS and changed the CPU and restarted the laptop with no problems.
In the BIOS the new CPU was correctly recognized and the "Dual Core CPU support" parameter present in BIOS setup auto-switched to "Enable".
I saved and restarted, but after POST (I see HP first screen) the system didn't booted up and remains stucked with black screen with no blinking lines.
I tried switching useless parameters in BIOS setup, but did'nt resolve.
I put back the old CPU and Windows started up normally after HP screen.
Shut down again and replaced CPU with T2050, tried to change the "Dual Core CPU support" parameter to "Disable", and the damn Windows started up normally.
The CPU was correctly recognized, but in task manager I see only 1 thread, so I have a single cored T2050 working.
Anyone knows the way to make it work correctly in Dual Core mode ?
This HP BIOS is very Cryptical...
