Old CPU: INTEL Celeron D352

New CPU: Intel Pentium E6600

When I turn on the computer both FANS start turning and the lights on the computer and CD drive flash, but there is no beep telling me that its passed or failed the POST, also the screen displays nothing.

I know its not the other COMPONENTS as I've tried it with the old processor and it works fine.
