compaq 5bw120 cpu upgrade
I have a problem trying to install my new processor. I currently have a 600mhz in the computer now. I brought a 1.1g processor and installed it. I turned on the computer and it does nothing. It won't even boot up. I installed the old one back in and it works fine. I was wondering if I have to change something in the bios or on the board itself. I don't have alot of money or I would just go buy a new computer. I'm trying to get by with what I have. Does anybody have any ideal what might be wrong?I currently have a cpu that says the following on it 600/128/66/1.5 the new cpu says the following 1100/256/100/1.5 they both are socket 370 and both are intel celeron. According to compaq the highest cpu I can put on the board is 1133mhz. That's about all I really know about this. The motherboard is the factory one that came with it.
