Ok I did a little research before buying a new CPU for my computer. I looked up the specs and what my mother board supports.
I even made a thread on here asking a load of questions about this http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum2.php?config=tomshardwareus.inc&cat=33&post=307124&page=1&p=1&sondage=0&owntopic=1&trash=0&trash_post=0&print=0&numreponse=0"e_only=0&new=0&nojs=0
I looked at the specs of my mother board http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02560084&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&site=null&lang=en&product=5035429&key=null
and it says that it will support the AMD Phenom II x6.
So this is what I got http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103849&cm_re=PHENOM_II_X6_1090-_-19-103-849-_-Product
But when I put it in and hooked everything up It says Error: Unsupported CPU Installed and then it shuts down.
I have already looked for a BIOS update but apparently I already have the latest one.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Did I get the wrong CPU or something?
Did I misread the specs page or what?
I'm at a total loss so please help.....
