I bought a AMD 64x2 5400 2.80GHz OEM to upgrade my 4200. When I insert the chip and hook everything back up, my computer starts beeping at me and wont turn on. I put back in my 4200 and it's running fine.

My motherboard shouldn't have anything to do with it correct? What else could the problem be?
 
If its the 5400+ Brisbane, most older boards don't support them natively, try flash your BIOS to the latest version if you haven't done that already

Then try the 5400+ again, if it doesn't work this time, you better RMA it
 
I'm new when it comes to the BIO's so could you help me do that? I have a Acer and my motherboard is a NVIDA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430.

There a site that shows step by step or anything?
