I upgraded (changed) the CPU to a different one (from a amd atlon 3200+ to a amd sempron) (socket 462) but now the pc powers up and HD spins but the loading light stays on. It doesn't even boot up to the bios. :hello:

cpu upgrade its very limited by hp bios, link with specs of your pc tells you what cpu you can instal : lhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00...
if you want to install cpu that you have , you will need differebnt mb, but if you channge mb , your OS might not work anymore.(50-50 chance)

You can try updating bios, and try again, but don,t think bios from hp will be any help.
this is Asuss mb , try there .
