Changing up your processor is not complicated but very fragile. If you were to heavy handed you can damage the pins. You can get dust, grease, grime in between the contacts. In addition you can apply too much or too little termal compound between the CPU and the heatsink (shorting motherboard/ overheating respectively). You can even have a pocket of air between the CPU and heatsink causing it to overheat or burn out. Static is a silent killer, you don't see, hear or feel the discharge but it can screw your CPU.

Your system may boot a few times but will crash after a short period. The length of time between boot and crash will gradually deteriorate.

hi,

to be sure what is the real faulty part, you will have to test each part in a working computer.

then you will know if they are working or not.

test the processor as well and if it is working, this means that the problem is from the motherboard.

Hi guys,

I'm new in this forum. Hope someone could lend me a hand...

I had recently bought a new processor and hope to replace an old one from my PC. But after changed, the system couldn't boot up, not even the initial screen. I wonder what is the important information I need to know before replacing a new processor.

I had replaced an old processor of Intel Pentium D 930 (LGA775, FSB 800MHz) to Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 (LGA775, FSB 800MHz), both are for 64 bit computing. Not sure the new processor can match with the old one...

Best regards.
