I am trying to upgrade my EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF processor from Core i5 7500 to Core i7 7700, but after installing the i7 processor I am not getting anything on the monitor and the desktop is making 5 beeps sound(3 long and 2 short).
I tried resetting the BIOS to the default setting but it didn't work.

Hi:
During the process of upgrading the processor, you may have dislodged a memory chip.

Sounds like the installation did not do properly. Did you do this yourself or from a repairer ? Please do it properly.
Regards.
