@Forza_V,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

Unfortunately, a Q9550 is not compatible with an HP Compaq 4000 Pro SFF:

I found that out myself with a desktop similar to yours, an HP Compaq dc7900 USDT, where only 65-watt processors such as a Q9550S would work.

 

Kind Regards,

If then what happen when I put does it the pc dead or the bios or maybe it boots?

@Forza_V,

 

Your PC will not boot up at all. At best, you may see a message on your screen saying something like: "this processor is not compatible with this computer."
