I just bought the intel E7500 processor because according to the acer wesite my current motherboard is capable of running it. When I put the new CPU in I turn the computer on and nothing happens, it turns on but I just have a constant black screen. I know the likely answer is that I cannot support this CPU but according to all of the resources I can find my board shouldbe able to. Are there any other factors that could be stopping it from working? Any help would be great
My computer
ACER Aspier T690
946GZT-AM motherboard
according to what I can find this mobo supports up to 1066 FSB and 3.8GHZ
the E7500 i'm trying to install has 1066 FSB and 2.93GHZ so I am stumped

these are two different references I'm using for the specs, one being the acer's own page, and both say that it should work. As far as BIOS upgrades I don't really know much about them.

Take the CPU back out and with a good magnifying glass look for any BENT PINS in the CPU socket , Sometimes if you are real careful you can straighten them with a tooth pick. If they are bent real bad you are looking at a new board.
