New Motherboard, Incompatible Processor Error

I just replaced the motherboard on my dell e510 to repair a memory slot problem, and upon start up it says I have an incompatible processor. I read somewhere that it could be a bios problem reading the chip, and that a reset was needed to fix it. Can anyone confirm this or give me a way to verify the problem?

 

What kind of processor did you previously have? What kind of Socket did your motherboard have?

 

I simply replaced the board with a new board of the same make and model. My memory slots were bad and I needed to replace the board. The chip is the same for the system.

 

I see.

Have you tried resetting the CMOS?

 

Yes, I moved the jumper to pins 2 and 3 for 15 seconds, then replaced them on pins 1 and 2. Still giving me the error. The computer works, but the error is just annoying...

 

Ok so the errors persists but does it boot up to Windows?
Im kind of short on answers here... do you have a screenshot than you can take it might help.

 

I don't have a screenshot, but I can tell you exactly what it says.

Alert! Incompatible Processor
Press f1 to continue-f2 to enter setup

 

I went searching all over today and found no hopefull results other than:

Your motherboard simply doesnt support the cpu

I also found something interesting. I read from another user who had the same problem that he read his motherbaords manual and said he found a jumper to DISABLE the alert. Look in your manual if you have one and try to find it.

Hope i helped,

 

Thanks a ton, I'll see if I can find the manual. Everything I read says nothing is wrong, but that error bugs me

 

Hey it would bother me as well :x:

Anytime pal
