@dad2maxx, welcome to the forum.

When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.  I will tell you which processors are compatible with the motherboard once I have the model.

You are very welcome. Thank you for the additional information, @dad2maxx.  Please don't be concerned about not furnishing the model. Believe me you are not the first.

Here are the Processors that you had to choose from when you bought the computer:

Processor
Must select one of the following options:
FX-8100 (Zambezi) (95W), 2.8 GHz
FX-8120 (Zambezi) (95W), 3.1 GHz
FX-8150 (Zambezi) (125W), 3.6 GHz

Here are the Processors that are compatible with the Angelica2 MB:

Processor
                                                   TDP
FX-4100 (Zambezi)            95W
FX-6100 (Zambezi)            95W
FX-6120 (Zambezi)            95W
FX-6200 (Zambezi)         125W
FX-8100 (Zambezi)            95W
FX-8120 (Zambezi)            95W or 125W
FX-8150 (Zambezi)         125W
FX-8350 (Zambezi)         125W

It appears that your Processor should work in the Anglica2.  The TDP is the same for each MB.  However, I can't guaranty that all of the connections are the same.

Many Thx again Geekster!!!...This PC was given to me by my sis-in-law to salvage her data from her HD. She then went ahead & bought a new one without waiting to see if I could fix this one. She told me to keep it, so I will fix it for ME!!!

You are very welcome, @dad2maxx.  It is always good to be the recipient of a free computer.  The price is certainly right!!

Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer.  This will give you all of the information that you need about the computer.  Good luck on getting it to work.
