Hello friends, I want to ask you for help with this.
I have an emachines D725 with GL40 chipset and currently running an amazing Core2Duo T9500, so good, but I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade to a Core2Extreme X9000, just for fun.
In theory it is possible, the two processors are exactly the same except for the power consumption (T9500 35W - X9000 44W), so I bought one, specifically the SLAQJ C0 010676, I thought there would be no problem but it did not work, it just turns on but nothing more. I was going to give up but I thought it might be due to some microcode update, but being a Phoenix BIOS I have not managed to insert the new microcode.
In summary It doesn't boot / it shows no error, only black screen (on) the pc is always on.
