I have an ASUSTEK NARRA2 mobo and want to upgrade the processor to a quad core, can it be done?

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 ?

I would recommend upgrading to something with quad-cores and something that will fit into the LGA775 socket.

You can go with a Core i7 but that would require you to upgrade your mobo and your RAM. Costing you about 400 more dollars.

So I would recommend a Core 2 Quad Q8300 from intel.

check ur processor fan

may be its damage or ur processor become too heat up

hi there..

i also have the same mobo like yours. i also thinking to upgrade my old processor with better one..

made some quick research.. i would say the mobo unable to support the new processor. checked the BIOS update n CPU support list in Abit's site..

didn't show X4 processor is supported :(

Try upgrading your graphics driver.

Okay your Processor is not supported by your System Board. I will take some time and look to see what would be a good upgrade, but it may take a few days.

The pentium d 915 is a dual core processor, albeit a bad one. You should check google for info on your motherboard to see if it supports Core 2 duo's/ Core 2 quads. I have an E6600 overclocked to 3.0ghz and it still plays games perfectly paired with my 8800gt 512mb and 4gb's ram. I definately recommend upgrading to a core 2 duo. I used to have a pentium d 915 and it was bad for gaming and the e6600 blows it out of the water. You most likely wont find the e6600 anywhere as it is nearly 3 years old. Look at sites such as toms hardware to find a good core 2 duo.

Good luck- an t-adh leat!

Hi your mobo can support processors of 400 FSB . The best you could do is use a 2.4 or 2.66 ghz processor . Processors of 533 FSB or beyond are not supported , all these are uni core proc., the newer procs., are all dual or quad cores so beware do not buy a wrong processor

ya it has ddr u could beef ram up aint much chip u can get higher in this mobo need new mobo to run quad cores amd ect is am2+ mobo better cheaper ram too get more up to 8 gb 16 sum mobos on new egg
