Computer only stays on for about 10 secs not enough time to get into BIOS settings. The cpu has the same settings on both the 3.0ghz and the new 3.4ghz.
I put the old 3.0ghz cpu back in and the computer starts back up fine except that I had to reset the bios settings.
I just needed some help to figure out how to properly upgrade from the 3.0ghz cpu to a new 3.4ghz cpu. I thought you could just take out the old one, put in the new one, and turn the computer back on. But when I tried that, the computer will only stay on for about 10 secs before powering down for no apparent reason.
