Please help with CPU upgrade..

[Guest]

Hi, ill just get right to th ebasics. My motehrboard is a A8M2N-LA (NodusM3) with Phoenix Systems 3.07 Bios. It came with a AMD 4200 but i wanted to upgrade it to a 5600. I plugged everything in correctly and hooked up the computer. However, when i turn it on i hear the fans and everything but the screen is blanc, and i hear a repetative, long beep sound. I installed the old cpu (using it now) and everything booted fine. Can anyone explain to me why it is not booting up with the 5600 cpu and making a beep sound every 2 or so seconds? Thanks!

If this link is the one for your computer/motherboard, it states that support is provided for up to an Athlon 64 x2 5000+:

Ive read that before and i contacted HP support. They said it should still work with the Phoenix 3.07 bios which i have..Guess ill have to sell the cpu

Thats exactly what happens to mine, the beeps indicate that the ram is faulty or not there at all. Howeverm when i hooked up my old cpu it worked fine! Is there any way to fix this? Thanks to all for trying to help.

I also contacted HP for support, they said its something with the ram. They told me to take out the ram for 2 minutes and put it back in, i will do it friday (the only time i actually have some spare time) and report back. Untill now, thanks for all help and please post any other peices of info, its all greatly appreciated!
