Hi there,
I'm upgrading my C2D 6320 to a C2D 8400, 45nm processor. My motherboard is a MSI P6N MS-7350 and I'm using a 410 watt power supply. According to the MSI site, the processor is compatible.

When I install the new one and turn the computer on, I get a black screen. No beeps or anything. If I put the old one back in, it works.
I've updated my BIOS to 2.6 and tried removing the battery for a minute as someone suggested.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Worst case, the CPU is DOA, or I need a newer motherboard.
Thanks for any help.
