C2D e7400 help please!

[Patchwork Neurology]

So my new e7400 just came in this morning and after installing it my pc won't POST. All the fans and cathodes are working but no video or any motherboard error beeps. I upgraded to the C2D from a Pentium D 820 and when I reinstalled the Pentium the pc ran fine. Any help, ideas, or suggestions greatly welcome.

Specs:

ECS NF650i SLIT (yeah I know go ahead and make fun of me )
9600GT
3GB RAM
Windows XP/7/OS X

Nothing guys?

Most likely just needs a BIOS update...

Look into it for your motherboard.

According to ECS your mobo doesn't support the e7400 CPU

RMA it for Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600 (G0) or an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (G0) - that will max you out.

Yea that chips not on the support list for your mobo!! Try contacting your mobo supplier and see if they have a bios update to fix it..If not you will have to get different chip!!

Thanks for all the help, I think I'm gonna end up picking up a better mobo instead.

Nevermind I actually went and bought an e6700 I found on eBay. I'm really new to the Core 2 CPU's so I really wasn't sure what was compatible with what. Thanks again for the help guys!
