oki got a new cpu today.

i turned on my computer with my old chip in, everything is working, turn it off put the new chip in and all the fans start i get the usual beep (i think) from the mobo but the screen doesn't come on.

what's wrong here? is it the new chip or what?
 
edit i swapped the chips back around and the old one works so it's not like i unplugged something, would i need to update my bios or something? :(
 
i actually don't think i get a beep from the mobo when the 6600 is in....you recokn the chip is just dead?

Nope shouldn't need a BIOS update for that. Could try clearing the CMOS with the E6600 in but it shouldn't have a problem booting up.

btw how would i do that? and how do i update the bios i've never done it like.
 
ok i just found this:

Intel E6600(2.4GHz,4MB) 1066 F6
Intel E6300(1.86GHz,2MB) 1066 F8

i assume that the 6600 does need different bios then?


EDIT:
my bios are F6 atm what should update them to? F10?
