Hi everyone,
Just over a year ago I bought a packard bell computer, and last week it suddenly stopped working. When i hit the power switch, everything runs for about 1/10th of a second and then nothing. I contacted support, and they said that my cpu was probably fried, so now i have to replace it.
There was a Pentium 4 540 in it, these are my mobo specs:
Now I cant find a Pentium 4 540 or 541 anywhere, so i though i would for for a Pentium D. What I was wondering is whether a pentium D is compatible with this computer?
If it isnt I am kinda screwed as I will have to upgrade my mobo as well because I''ve been in a multitude in shops and all say they cant provide the 540 or 541 pentium 4.
Anyways, thanks in advance for the assistance..
