Blank Screen after Installing CPU

Last response: in CPUs
Share

I wiped my hard drive to 'basic' settings for my OS and verified it worked with the old CPU. Then I switched out CPUs, remembering to clean with Isopropyl Alcohol 70% and a coffee filer, then adding the Thermal Paste and spreading it via the pressure of the CPU fan. After I reassembled the computer and turned it on, the lights came on, the CD Drive worked, the fans spun, but nothing came onto my monitor

My specs:

Motherboard: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en...

Old CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/31733/Intel-Pentium-Proce...

New CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/33910/Intel-Core2-Duo-Pro...

Can anyone help?

Did you update to latest BIOS before swapping processors? your new processor is listed as upgrade option but it is not clear if your mobo supported it out of the box. There is a considerable jump in fsb though TDP and Voltage ranges are same for both.
