New processor

[Armorlite]

I just recently bought a new processor. I installed the new processor and when i boot up the system the monitor is like its in sleep mode. The emachine light that usually turns on doesn't turn on but all the fans inside the tower is working. When I plug in my old processor it works fine. I updated the latest bios from gateway but still no luck.

Specs:
emachine t5062
1 gb of ram kingston ddr2
nvidia geforce 8600gt

HELP!!

oh yeah the processor
AMD Athlon 64 3800+

tryin to install

AMD Athlon 5200 brisbane x2

 

[Emperus]

Are you sure about your motherboard supporting both of those CPU's..?? As far as I remember, the 3800+ is a single core Socket 939 pin processor whereas the 5200+ is a dual core 940 pin Socket AM2 compatible processor..

Indeed emperus is correct your new cpu is not supported by your board.

 

[Armorlite]

yes the processor i have now is 3800 amd athlon

 

[Armorlite]

On my CPU-Z it says Socket Am2 (940)

the amd x2 5200 should work with that computer my son has that exact model update your bios. Has a 5770 for gaming in it. Not too bad of a system for his uses. One other thing I forgot I had to upgrade the power supply you might want to check on that. It had a 230 or something really really low.

can you guys give me a link to where i can update my bios? I been searching all over and i would appreciate it if you could give me a link!

 

[Armorlite]

also was the one u bought 939 pins?

 

[Emperus]

If you can find out your motherboard's model number then you can (also we can) search for a BIOS update (if available)..

 

[Armorlite]

MCP61PM-AM with windows XP

 

[Armorlite]

and about the power supply i don't think its that because the processor i have now uses more power than the one im trying to install

yeah 939 pins straight am2

Supposedly... I thought that also and I ordered a 3800+ 64 x2 939 pin/socket expecting it to just plug in. NOPE. CPU-Z lists my processor as an AMD Athlon 64 3800+, Socket AM2 (940) [pin], so he either has a different motherboard processor configuration or CPU-Z is wrong... AT LEAST for my computer. ANYBODY need a 939 pin AMD Athlon AOA38000AA5CD processor? selling it real cheap since the place where I ordered it wont take it back. LOL

I am hoping that the 5200 Brisbane will work.

Hey Boss,
I just installed an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Brisbane 5200+ into my T5062 machine and it has worked flawlessly. The 3800+ "IS" a single core processor and the 5200+ "IS" a dual core. The computer recognizes the dual cores, Windows recognizes the dual cores, the utility program "open Hardware Monitor" that This web site offers (FREE) also lists BOTH cores and the MAX speed of 2712 MHz on both cores. What I have tested so far, I have loaded over a dozen programs into memory and ran a HD defrag and a system optimization program (all at the same time) to stress the CPU, and the highest CPU LOAD PERCENTAGE that I could get with all this crap loaded into memory was 89% usage. The video's load faster and run much better. I didn't see any BUFFERING at all. But I AM NOT A GAMER so I do not know how well this CPU would work for someone that was a gamer. But I am happy with the results.

Ditto!

Video's load faster and run much better. I didn't see any BUFFERING at all. But I AM NOT A GAMER so I do not know how well this CPU would work for someone that was a gamer. But I am happy with the results. If I ONLY did WORD PROCESSING and I did NOT access the Internet there would be no need to change out the 3800+ CPU.
