Compaq Presario CQ60 300 SI CPU Upgrade

[mpiac]

Hallo,

I'm trying to upgrade my CQ60 300 SI which stock CPU is a Sempron SI-42 mounted on a Wistron 303C Socket s1 MOBO with a AMD Turion 64 X2 TMDTL60HAX5DM but as I have installed it my PC didn't start. I had a black screen with no tentative bootstrap. I had already upgraded my BIOS to the F.54 from the old F.35 version, but this didn't help at all.

Is there anybody who experienced the same problem and have found a wayout to solve the issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Turion 64 X2 MDTL60HAX5DM it is not compatible because it belongs to the previous generation AMD Socket S1g1

Processors compatible with your laptop, belong to AMD Puma platform (2008) core Lyon Socket S1g2
