HP s5710f slimline processor upgrade issues

[Nightlance97]

I purchased a new processor selected from the list on the support page and when I installed it, I got the "unsupported processor" text.

I bought an AMD Phenom II X6 1075T which was on the list. (3ghz, AM3, 6-core 125W)

Any idea why and how to correct the issue? 

My machine has 6 gigs of RAM at this point also.

Do I need other updates?  It wouldn't even begin the boot process.  It just powered down immediately.

Thank you.

Hi REO51ST

Very sorry.

The 125 watt TDP stuck out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for the reply.  I don't see anywhere on the specs page that the max is 95 watts.  Very disappointed with the information on the HP site.

I will try to return the current processor and get a replacement of 95 watts.

I appreciate the information.

Now I see it.

Didn't even look at the wattage.

My mistake completely.
