hello all
i'm upgrading a budget build and i'm having all sorts of problems with the upgrade to a more powerful CPU.
the mobo is an ASUS M2N-SLI and the old CPU is a basic single core AMD. the new cpu is an AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor (ADX640WFGMBOX). before buying i checked on the ASUS site and saw that the CPU is supported. i updated the BIOS and i can get the system to post with the old CPU (post BIOS update) but it will not post with the new CPU (in fact, it does nothing). i checked the new CPU and there are no bent pins or any other obvious signs of damage. any ideas?
thanks in advance
