HP Media center pc processor upgrade does it work?

[sniper1k5]

Hello,

i got this media center pc,

and i want to upgrade the pentium 4 processor to a dual core pentium E2140.

i did that but now when i turn on the pc it is blowing very hard and giving no signal.

does anyone know what the problem is?

is the motherboard compatible with the processor?

the processor is socket 775 like the pentium 4.

resetting cmos does not work.

Thanks.

Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to assist you. I understand after upgrading the processor to Pentium E2140, your HP Media Center M7380 does not work properly. I did some research and found the product specifications of the PC. As per the motherboard specifications, the Pentium E2140 is not compatible with the motherboard. You may access the below links to view the specifications and the supported processors:
