HP 1000-1310LA CPU upgrade

[elderp]

Hi,

I just upgraded a ProBook 4530s from a Core i3-2310M to a Core i7. Now I have the old CPU available.

I want to upgrade a HP 1000-1310LA from a Celeron B830 to this Core i3-2310M. I have installed it but now I am having problems with the notebook. For no apparent reason, the notebook shutdown itself without any warning after a while randomly and no event seems to be registered anywhere.
I also have a Core i3-2350M and I installed it on the notebook just to see if it could work but no luck.
It is pretty tiring to disassemble it and for now I will sleep and tomorrow I will return the Celeron hoping it will work normally again.
The notebook does not get hot, just the normal warmth and the fan works normal. The notebook was working fine with the B830 processor.

Is it some kind of restriction by design or something that is causing this behavior? I still have another CPU around here but I do not remember the model.
Searching in the forum, I found questions about upgrade but not with this exact model.

Is there something I can do or the notebook cannot help but having a Celeron processor?

Regards,

Elder

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

See p. 2. The HP 1000 series has an AMD processor, or it has 2 different types of Intel motherboards; one for Intel Core processors and then the one you have:

Intel HM70 Express Chipset (Pentium/Celeron processors only)

The motherboard is:

For use only with computer models equipped with an Intel Pentium or Celeron processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA video memory 685783-001

See page 20. The motherboard will not accept those i3 processors you have. The best upgrade you can do is to a Pentium B970.

Under $10 on eBay:

The Pentium B970 would be an upgrade: just a whisker less powerful than an i3-2310M :

But neither one is a huge improvement over the Celeron B830:

I might just leave well enough alone. The HP 1000 and Cq45 were designed to be a very low-end system to be sold at doorbuster prices through Wal-Mart and similar outlets and there is just no way to make a silk purse out of it.

Hi Huffer, thank you for the answer.

Then I will probably buy the B970 in the near future. I guess now that the best option the notebook can have is to replace de HDD with an SSD, as I did with the ProBook and maybe a little more RAM but for the use, 4GB is good enough.
