Hi I swapped out Pentium 4 630 for a Pentium D 940 3.2g. It is recognized in BIOS and Device Mgr. Everything seems to be running well. The problem is When i startup or restart after the Dell splash screen i get 2 beeps and this message -Alert incompatible processor Hit F1 to continue or Hit F2 for Setup. I hit F1 and everything loads up and runs fine. I've had it running for a few hours without problems. Anything i can do about the F1 nag. Thank you I'm running Dell E510 Vista home premium Motherboard 0WG261 Chipset intel i945 G/GZ revision A2 Southbridge 82801GB (ICH7) Bios Dell version A07
Hi shraj001 Thats just it. I and others have tried to get an answer from Dell. No luck. Some on the Dell forums have done what i did (same MB) and have no problems (yet). A few have had the F1 nag but can't fix it. Thats why i'm searching for an answer. Thanks for the reply
