Computer POSTing issue (5 beeps)

[Zew]

I cannot understand why I am having this issue, my computer will no show a display and simply gives 5 short beeps during POST (Which I know is a CPU issue). I'm running

That would be all the relevant information I believe.
I've pondered on whether this may be a case of my BIOS needing an update, although I may be unable to do that since the only other computer I have is this laptop. I've also wondered whether the CPU is incompatible with the motherboard, despite what the ASRock website states.

I appreciate any help!
- Thanks!

Get rid of the second link.... re link it with a non-logged in link. Or you'll end up with 100000 RAMs...

Beware and check your shopping cart before you log out of that site...... PLS....

Both the CPU and the Mobo seem compatible , but only after a BIOS update.
For which you will either need a cheap sempron or then just take it to a pc shop and make them update the BIOS for you to the latest for a few bucks.

Woops, thanks for calling that! I'll be sure to be a little more careful!

Thanks for the reply, it was what I had thought (and hoped). I really appreciate you clearing that up!
