I have this motherboard with what i believe is the original bios and am trying to install and intel core 2 duo e6550 processor and am only getting a black screen. do i need a bios update for the processor to work ?

You want to connect a phone to a Computer Processor?

'make model (what it is)' in all questions and if two items, both of them.

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.

Sounds more like in-correct power supply ?

Motherboard supports Processors with a Front Side Bus (FSB) of either 800Megahertz, or 1066MHz.

1333MHz FSB support is done with OVERCLOCKING.

Intel Core2 Duo E6550 processor has a 1333MHz FSB.

I reduced the view size to 120 percent. Go to Page 27.
Press DELete key to enter BIOS Setup.

Use Down Arrow key to highlight - Fox Central Control Unit
Press the Enter key

CPU Frequency Setting should be set to 333 (333MHz)
Intel processors are 'Quad Pumped'
333MHz x 4 = Approximately 1333MHz. (1332)

Note the version of the BIOS program also.

this motherboard have processor socket LGA 775, so it can use for pentium 4, dual core and some core 2 duo. this is short list of core 2 duo that have socket LGA 775 specification: Core 2 Duo E4300, E4400, E4500, E4600, E4700, E6300, E6320, E6400, E6420, E6540, E6550, E6600, E6700, E6750, E6850, ..... (there is a lot of list that i can type in here, even there is Core 2 Quad that be use on this socket) ------> more detail visit this wikipedia website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors
hope this useful, regards. Happy browsing.

update bios

Yes this motherboard is compatible with the Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 processor since the maximum processor support of this motherboard is core 2 duo LGA775 Socket so everything should be fine between these motherboard and processor.

its ram prob replace

The Acer M1610 was available with the following processors: Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Pentium Dual-Core, Intel Pentium D/4, Intel Celeron D/4 2.0GHz.

Based on this information, It is likely that you can support a Core Duo or a Core 2 Duo, however may be limited to the 2.0GHz models due to clock and multiplier limitations on the BIOS. This may be different if there is BIOS upgrades to support faster processors.

Your best option of the above listed processors will be the Core 2 Duo, however their system specifications report that only the Core 2 with 800MHz or less Front Side Bus are supported.

Also note that the Celeron 430 is a 64bit processor, so it is not likely to work on this system either.

Dealing with OEM PC's can be rather difficult. Most of the specifications on those chips are the same, except the FSB (Front System Bus). The E6300 is 1066MHz and the E6550 is 1333MHz. I don't believe that this is set by jumpers (i'm 95% sure). I would look into BIOS to see if it is an available option to change (though most of the time this setting is set on AUTO). There is a chance that you will need to provide a BIOS update. If you chose to do this be very careful as this is dangerous. Should something interupt this (power outage or something like that) your computer could become useless. Definitely make sure to do a lot of research and preparation before performing an update.
