@Facciabrutta , welcome back to the forum.
What is the full model or product number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. Here is a guide to help you find it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07555

Thank you for the additional information, @Facciabrutta!
Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-590-p0000-desktop-pc-series/19390500/model/21299366...
If you look at the section titled "Processor/Processor upgrade information" there is a list of compatible processors. The processors listed have been fully tested to assure they are compatible with the motherboard. If a processor is not on the list it will most likely not work.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
