You may want to check your mobo documentation.. There could be a jumper or BIOS setting that neds to be changed..

I haven't got a mobo booklet - its a dell dimension 4300 sold as a complete package.

No I haven't. I was just wondering why my cpu is not working?

[Murray S.]

A: The supposed fix of the bent pins didn't fix it..

b: there is a jumper or BIOS setting that needs to be changed for the mobo to recognize the processor..

I have the latest BIOS for my motherboard now version A06 for dell dimension 4300.

It doesn't matter that you have the latest version.. All that means is that it can now handle the size of processor you are trying to install..

Doesn't mean it will do this automatically.. there could be a jumper on the mobo that needs changing or a setting in BIOS that needs changing!!

I understand what you are saying to a certain extent but how do i go about doing that.

In the meantime I have contacted the technical people at Dell to hopefully provide some clarification on the enquiry.

However, if you have any knowledge regarding this issue that you wish to share then i would be most grateful.

Thanks for your continued attention...

Without see ing the BIOS (Setup) or a diagram of your mobo, I cannot accurately give that information!!

Ya.. It takes me to the Dell - United Kingdom site.. No diagram there that I can see and, if they have a copy of your manual and BIOS settings, read it and make the change yourself !!
