Hey there, I have an Intel® Core™ i3-540 Processor (4M Cache, 3.06 GHz) on my Gateway DX4840-03e and I got a Intel® Core™ i7-880 Processor (8M Cache, 3.06 GHz) with the intention to upgrade. They are both the same socket type although they differ in TDP. When I tried to install the new processor I noticed the power button flash on the tower as well as a beeping sound. Yet no signal to the monitor. Is this a compatibility issue? Is it even possible for me to upgrade processors in this case?
