thanks for all your help but have decided to just go out and buy a new mobo but again thanks for all ur help very much appriciated

thanks for your help i will give it a try

already done that that were the first thing i checked when i installed ma new processor after realizing windows went loading. Everything that ave checked is all ok, registering everything properly voltage is ok to cpu, ram detected, hdd detected, fan speed goes throught the roof tho, i am just assuming like but i dont think ma mobo is compatible with duel core but i cant see that being the case. The bios is been made especially for this system from acer/American Megatrends would that ave anything to do with it?? they aint any updates for the bios aswell ave already checked

yeah synapes its an made for an acer aspire AG3760, on thew mobo it says G31T - M5 V:1.0. i think this system has been discontinued tho because i cant find info anywhere in the internet, not even on there website, if you need the serial no for the mobo its MBSA5090139160051D9100 or V72106091620234 there the 2 no on the stickers (ave just google'd them and theres no info) yes dalo i spent around 2 hours reapplying the paste removing it same process just in-case i hadent given it enough and no i didnt take out the CMOS battery i were thinking about it any yes i reset the bios settings, the mobo picks up the processor in bios system info:- Processor- Pentium D 3GHz - FSB 800MHz so i know it knows the processor is there its just doesnt boot windows and the fan instantly rases to 4400rpm, with current processor it sits btween 1200 - 1500rpm ive just flashed my bios now so i will check it again and will let u know if that worked

hey i wonder if some one can help, ive just bought a Intel SL9KA Dual Core Pro Pentium D 925 3GHz processor socket 775 and ave just swapped it for my Intel celeron 450 2.2GHz socket 775 and all i get is a black screen after the bios has loaded. I only bought it due to this website i were checking my processor on says that pentium D were supported by the same socket type. I dont know if this is due to my motherboard not being compatible. My motherboard is G31T - M5 chip drivers are up to date but i dont know if the bios is, once i had installed the P,D processor and switch on my pc my fan/heatsink starts at 4400rpm the processor itself stays at 37'c i left it for a good 10 minutes to c if the temperature rose and it stayed the same so if anyone has a solution or a reason why this may be happening please let me know my many thanks to anyone who can help
