All you would need to know, in order to know what CPUs would fit it, is the model number of either the motherboard OR the prebuilt OEM number if it was purchased as a whole unit.

Make sure you installed the CPU the CORRECT way in the socket, and did not bend any pins. Likely, at a guess, I'd say that was the most probable mistake we see noobies make is trying to install the CPU the wrong way in the socket and bend the pins on the board or CPU all to hell.

Also, make sure you've reconnected the CPU fan, or it won't ever start and run unless the BIOS...

My motherboard didnt have a number to say what cpu's fitted it, and me being a noob at pcing i took it to check that the cpu i was buying fitted, which was a good call cause it didnt, but i now know theres ways of finding out. But yeah that's why I took it apart, and to be fair it needed a clean so i blew it all out while i had it apart with a hairdryer
