Hi, I have an Elite MB L4VXA2 mother board that runs great. Baught a intel 3.0 GHZ/1m/800 SL7E4 to replace my 2.4GHZ. When i put in the 3.0 and try to boot it doesnt boot. everything i can find on the mother board says that it supports a 3.0. Been thinking of flashing the bios after reading that one of the flashes helps with conflicts with hyper threading. Before i do that is there something that i may be missing? A 2.8 runs fine in it just put one in and it booted right up and runs great.

you posted a statement of fact not a question.
it will support
not
will it support(a real question)

well NO
and NO PC stated, only mobo.(lost the PC ?)
nor that this PC was mobo bought in India?
YOUR mobo is core2, not core(tm) processor
they are not even the same class nor socket
no
here is the list of core i3 (all are LGA
your mobo is core2. (older )
all are over 1000 pins, LGA1156 (gen 0)

you can not stuff 10 pounds(or kg) of mud in 1 pound sack.
no can do.

The motherboard for the dc7600 has an Intel LGA775 processor socket. However, not all LGA775 processors are compatible with the motherboard. For the small form factor, the following CPUs are supported: Intel Celeron D Processors:
Intel Celeron D 331 Processor (2.66-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 336 Processor (2.80-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 346 Processor (3.06-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium 4 Processors with HT Technology:
Intel Pentium 4 521 Processor (2.8-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 524 Processor (3.06-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor (3.2-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 620 Processor (2.8-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 630 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 631 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 640 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 641 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 650 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 651 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 661 Processor (3.6-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) or
Intel Pentium D Dual Core Processors:
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 820 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 915 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 930 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 940 Dual Core Processor (3.2-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 945 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 950 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

Unfortunately, these are old processors and I don't see any available new. Newegg.com lists a couple available as refurbished. You may be better off getting a new computer with either a Intel I3 or current AMD processor.

I wish that I had better news for you.

(do not attempt to use a CPU that your motherboard doesn't support. It probably won't boot.)

Intel® Desktop Board D915GAG Supported processors
The Intel® Desktop Board D915GAG supports one Intel processor in an LGA775 socket. See the table below for a complete list of supported processors.
Processors not specifically listed by type and rated speed can have requirements that are not supported by the design of the desktop board. Use of unsupported processors can result in improper operation, damage to the desktop board or processor, or reduced product life.

why not go with a faster MB and CPU combo?
First to awnser your question yes the Pentuim 3.2 will fit the MB as long as yours is a 800 Mhz Bus speed. And the Board can be configured for the proper clock speed. I would also buy a new CPU fan and heatsink greese b4 you install this CPU. Thee are so many cheap CPU MB Combos out there its almost cheaper to just replace both and get a much faster system.

Intel 965 Series Mother Board is suitable for this.

if the MB has slots for 2 processors...yes

Not showing on the screen in the sense, is the Operating System [assuming XP] system properties window not showing the processor details? If its the case, generally some processors will have some issues with the Operating system.You can fix it by downloading some "hot fixes" from Microsoft.
Try this: 1.Open the "run" dialog box [Windows key + R] 2.Type "dxdiag" [without quotes] 3.Press enter. 4.You will be able to see the processor configuration in that window.
If not succesfull, please post. I will suggest another method.

From what you posted, your processor uses socket 478. You could pop it into any of these micro atx boards

Hi Rlforeard, yes the BX80546PG3000E is compatible with the motherboard P4I65G.

Here is the list from Asrock. CPU's supported for the Asrock P4I65G board. You will find you can go higher.

Good Luck!

try update the system bios because there were motherboards that had compatibility problems, this board is not a new one so it should work with your processor
