I have an M465-E laptop that I am trying to upgrade from a T2300E Core Duo to a T7200 Intel Core 2 Duo.
The M465-E uses the 945PM chipset which should work with a T7200. I've also upgraded to the latest available BIOS that I can download (71.12).
This laptop even had the T7200 as an upgrade option at one point.
However when I install the CPU the computer will not boot. Spins up the drives and flashes the lights like a normal boot, then shuts down. Putting the T2300E back in and everything works great.
So, this should work. All the right parts are there but it wont boot.
Gateway M465-E Laptop (Rev 1.0 according to CPU-Z)
1GB DDR2-533
80GB SATA HD
T2300E Core Duo (T7200 Core 2 Duo hopefully)
ATI X1400 64MB
Intel i945PM Rev. 03
BIOS 71.12 - 03/16/2007
