Hi there @Mr_Potato,

The LED lights near the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys will blink if an error is detected during the startup process. The LEDs will blink a number of times in a sequence and then stop. The number of blinks in the sequence is 1 blink. This means that the CPU is not functional.
Source: Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code
You can try to reseat the CPU and check all of the connections first to see if maybe it just was not being read properly, as you did say that you had just replaced the CPU.
Although you had mentioned you replaced the i3-380m with an i7-640m. I found the CPU that came with the Notebook in the chart for the Intel® Previous Generation processors. Then I checked to see what is compatible. Please look at the HP Pavilion g6-1045ej Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide on page 1.
Thanks for being a part of the HP community. Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue. If you require further assistance I will gladly do all I can to help. If you wish to say "thanks" for my effort to help, please click the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.
Have a great day!
