New processor, computer won't boot up

[VincentStrike]

My motherboard: Acer WMCP78M (Socket AM2 )
The NEW Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition, 4x 3.0GHz, boxed

So...I start the computer, i hear the beep sound and Acer startup thing... Then comes the fast text as usually after that comes in the left upper corner '' _ '' :shock: And nothing else. So...Where is the problem? :sarc:


PS. My bad english sorry for that & i don't know if this is right category and i'm doing this first time.

If you are refering to your Laptop

The chips used to run on there boards are limited most of the time there non upgradable

Im pretty sure that is where the problem is also you would have to update the bios if any is available that would mention supporting such a chip

I would read what you are actually able to upgrade most of the time it will be just RAM or HD/SSD Hope this helps you understand where the fault might be

 

[Solarstarshines]

Ok The Processor is the problem Take it out and Return ASAP !

I did a search This is a Desktop and the Pictures tell you what it is upgradable to and what model your board is

You can only go as far as a QUADCORE phenom not HEXACORE !


Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition, 4x 3.0GHz, boxed <------------This is a x6-core chip not a x4-core

I threw in a list of QUADCORES this is your choices if any

I believe you are trying to put a AM3 CPU in a AM2 socket! Not compatible

Bingo and Nice to see you Doc Brown

My friend said i should buy new motherboard, box (for computer, mine is mega small) + graphic card, would that fix the problem then? (Current motherboard is intergrated)

 

[Solarstarshines]

I would start with your local computer parts retailer

You Obviously would be better off getting AM3+ Board along with DDR3 ram which is cheaper then DDR2

I would probally get with a mid tower nothing to costly since you have a average build that doesn't need a ton of space

Figure out what you want it to do if you gonna OC or leave it invest in a after martket cooler

better cooling solutions

NEW PSU don't buy a case with one already set or if your current one has enough juice to run what you need stick with it


pretty much that would be it new ram new board case / look around would probally get it for under 200.00 american If budget allows it is always better to get a dedicated gpu vs onboard

I can spend 200€, can you type here all the thins that i need to update ( i can save some more money :L )
Just type here like [''You need new motherboard, processor etc....'']


AND my friend said he can sell me ati radeon HD 3850 for 15€...(Just so i have something because i have intergrated atm) <----Is it good that i buy it from him?

Really.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121596 38,99$ Here it's like 140€ :O

Isn't 4gb ram enough? And do i have to buy from newegg.com? Never bought from internet so i'm quite worried where i have to buy from. My friends said they have bought parts from Sinä hyödyt siitä mitä Jimm's tietää - Jimms.fi

 

[Solarstarshines]

you don't have to buy from new egg just saying what is out there for budget build you can go for 4gb ram if you wish just giving you better deals more bang for your buck

 

[Solarstarshines]

wow prices are insane over there i would just get the board and ram and new case save on everything else till you got more cash

 

[VincentStrike]

Okay

wow prices are insane over there i would just get the board and ram and new case save on everything else till you got more cash

So any of that 2 mother board i choose, new case and ram sticks But is it really a trusted website? And are u sure that when i buy those 3 everything works fine and fits if u know what i mean

 

[VincentStrike]

So if i buy Newegg.com - ASRock 970 EXTREME4 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX
Newegg.com - Rosewill R218-P-BK-450W MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with 1x 120mm Fan, 450W Power Supply

.....What about my graphic card? :O In my current motherboard it's intergrated (I'm not sure what it means)

 

[Solarstarshines]

Intergrated means =Built in the Motherboard the hd4200 on a MB is decent but if you really want decent gaming ability get a dedicated card like a 6670 or 5670 1gb

 

[VincentStrike]

So i'm gonna buy
Corsair 2 x 4GB, DDR3 1333MHz, 9-9-9-24 | 56.00e - Jimms.fi
MSI 760GM-E51, AM3, 760G, DDR3, DVI/HDMI/VGA. mATX | 69.00e - Jimms.fi
Corsair 600W CX V2 Builder Series, ATX-virtalähde, 80Plus | 65.00e - Jimms.fi
CoolerMaster Elite 430 ATX-kotelo, musta | 59.00e - Jimms.fi
And my friend will sell me cheap graphic card for 15€ it's
HD 3850
1024 MB
Core lock 702 MHz
memory clock 828 MHz
______________________________________________________________________
The whole set will cost me 265€, what do you think?

 

[VincentStrike]

Last question i have, does this graphic card ''Ati Radeon HD 3850
1024 MB
Core lock 702 MHz
memory clock 828 MHz''

Fit to my motherboard Acer WMCP78M ?, because i'm going to buy it from my friend now
