Hi, (I apologize for my bad englisch) I wanted to upgrade my CPU so I bought a i5-3470, when I put it on the motherboard I only get 4 short beep sounds. I thought that the new CPU had issues so I put the old one back and now I have a constant beep with this one, it is a i5-2310. The motherboard is from a Acer AX3960 computer and some other components that I have are the power supply 650W from GameMax, GTX 760 from Zotac, 1 Tb Seagate HDD, 10 Gb ram (4 Gb Hyperx and 6Gb Kingstone, all are DDR3 1333Hz). So far I tried putting the new CPU on the motherboard and reset the CMOS by removing the battery, re-plug the RAM one by one, re-plug the Gpu and the Hard drive but nothing works. The old CPU that previously worked without any problems now doesn´t work either, I also tried to solve the problem with the same steps as before but it didn´t work. Does anybody know how to fix it? The computer turns on but I don´t get any image, so I can´t make changes in the BIOS.

Did you ask Acer if your i5-3470 was compatible with their bios? That is the first place to start. Contact acer with your questions.

If the BIOS currently has no support for 3rd gen Core processors, then you need a 2nd gen Core processor to update it with. Again, contact your board manufacturer regarding this.
