I have had this HP Compaq nc8430 for about 2 years. Currently it has a Intel Core Duo T2400 CPU. I recently bought an Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 CPU for it.
When i install the Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 the laptop will not boot. When I turn it on after the install I can hear the fan running. I can see the power light on both the main button and in the front. The screen stays black it never even loads the boot screen. The light below the disk icon turns solid yellow.
When i put the Intel Core Duo T2400 back in it boots and runs fine.
I was wondering if there is some switch or some trick to getting the processor to work.
Some additional information
Updated to most current BIOS ver F.16
I got this information from a search of the product number on each of the CPU's
