My brother was complaining lately about how his computer is slow, and since I had the same pc some time ago, I suggested he upgrade the cpu. I ordered an e7200 core2duo 2.53ghz for him. It arrived today, I installed it just as the instructions explain. I boot the pc, and nothing happens. The pc is an e-machine w3506, mine was the same model, but I had professionals install a pentium D 2.8ghz, I'm unsure of the version of it.
My brother's pc currently doesn't beep, doesn't display anything on the screen, just the orange standby light. The CPU and PSU fans do spin, but the rear fan doesn't, and the power light doesn't come on either, nor the harddrive light. I've tried stripping the thermal paste and adding a new layer, it still is doing that. Numlock doesn't light up or anything.
