I would check your MB's website and check which BIOS revision is needed to support the e6320. In addition, some MB's have later MB revisions which support the C2D where the original revision 1's of that series did not support C2D. HTH.

ive checked it, and the current version of the mb supports the e6320

Check the BIOS revision. You may need to install the latest BIOS to support the e6320.

should i install the latest version even if the current one supports it???

No. Try the cpu first. Flashing the bios is always a little risky. I wouldn't do it unless you have a serious problem.

look at my mb, it does support c2d

List your entire system specs.

Three things.

1. Default the BIOS with the CMOS jumper. Unplug the power supply, remove the battery, reset the CMOS jumper.

2. If you can get into BIOS, bump up the RAM votage to mfg. specs. (list your RAM so we know what you have and can tell you the proper voltage).

3. If nothing works I would do the following. Remove the processor and double check the installation. be sure no debris (thermal paste) is on the pin connectors on the chip or in the socket. Be sure the processor is seated correctly and lock down correctly. Reapply thermal grease and install hsf. HTH.
