Hello,
I have a CPU upgrade problem
I have a HP (Compaq-Presario) NY461AAR-ABA CQ5107C (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01756860&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=3942817&prodTypeId=12454)
Mobo is a M2N68-LA rev 5.00 mobo (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01701270)
Processor upgrade information from that site:
TDP: 95W
Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:
NOTE: Only socket AM2+ processors are supported with this motherboard.
AMD Phenom II Quad-Core
Original CPU is a Family AMD Athlon X2 Model number 7550 CPU part number AD7550WCJ2BGH (I looked at it)
Upgrade CPU (which does not work) is a AMD Phenom II X4 Processor 850 3.3GHz Socket AM3, OEM
AMD specs (http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/phenom-ii/Pages/phenom-ii-model-number-comparison.aspx) for this are:
AMD Phenom™ II X4 Processor
Model Number Frequency Total L2 Cache L3 Cache Packaging Thermal Design Power CMOS Technology
850 3.3 GHz 2MB socket AM3 95W 45nm SOI
When I install the CPU the computer “starts” but then the case & CPU fan turn off after 20 sec or so. This is the same behavior when I start it up without a CPU at all. Original CPU goes back in and all is OK.
SO, it seems that my CPU should work as it is 95W, the type (AMD Phenom II Quad) and AM3 CPUs work in AM2+ mobos.
What am I missing here please?
Larry
