CPU E7500 - RAM compatibility

Hey guys i just bought a Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 and plugged it in guess what?? it didn't work...

soo i plugged back my old one and it worked again...[just to see if i screwed anything up..]

Anyways i went back to store and said it was faulty //they tested it..and guess whatt..?? it worked!!!!...

soooo now i am baffled...

My settings in my computer are correct but my computer will not turn on..[By that, it is nothing on the screen though power is on.]...

soo i asked around and someone mentioned that my RAM may not be compatible with my CPU but when i checked online it seems that it doesn't matter what RAM you use..

ohh i'm using DDR2 RAM not sure on the Ghz...

someone helppp mee....

thnx

OH i forgot to mention my motherboard is a MSI P31 Neo V2..

it did say it does support Intel Core 2 Quad/Duo, sooo i'm assuming mine is compat. with that..

That statement is false. Just because you have a socket 775 board does not mean it will run all the socket 775 cpus.

As stated update your BIOS with your old cpu in the system and it should post afterwards.

I know. I seen the link.

But to your quote I figured the ram was most likely what you meant. But your original post said "the memory controller for socket 775 is on the nb so it doesn't matter what cpu you use" Which is different from " the memory controller for lga775 is not on the die, but on the northbridge, so the cpu used can not affect memory compatibility" which is true. All I was saying was the line was not true. Old p4 socket 775's boards do not run core2s. Some boards than ran the orginal core2s dont support wolfdales/yorkfields and so on.

sounds like a reinstall is in order

May be some loosing is present in the LGA 775 Socket, Bcoz MSI motherboard's Socket are not very rugged (I compared it with Gigaybyte). So look for any Pin damage or loosing.
