Hello everyone , first post here . I have just got an Intel 735a SL8BA 1.7ghz processor to drop into my v2010 which is currently running a Celeron 1.5ghz .
So , I did the usual stuff to reach the proc , having already upgraded the memory , carefully undid the 4 screws in the heatsink , folded back the fan and removed the hsf assembly . I then removed the celeron and replaced it with the Pentium M , so far so good . I cleaned off the bottom of the heatsink and applied a small amount of Arctic Silver Ceramique and replaced the assembly and gently screwed it back down again . I then replaced everything else and put the battery back in and that is when the fun started .
The laptop will post and the processor is recognised , it will run in safe mode and show in Device Manager , with the fan is running all the time , but it will not boot to Windows XP home , it reaches the bit with the little green lights running from left to right then freezes !
Anyone got any idea what I'm missing out from doing ? Does the pm800 Via chipset not support 90nm , 2mb cache processors ? When I replaced the Celeron M all ran fine .
