Answer» Recently purchased a new duo core cpu with info from intel, my mother boards manf., that my RC410 mobo can take duo core. After installing the new processor my computer wouldnt BOOT. Reinstalled old processor and found i might need a BIOS update. Intel informed my my comp has a RC410 mobo, but i cant find this mobo on any website, intel included. Every where i go to find out what to do i see "go to wimsbios.com" but even there i dont see anything remotely close to a mobo called RC410. Can anyone help me or point me where i can find a BIOS update for a mobo listed as RC410? I think you'll find that's your motherboard's chipset. What make/model is your PC, or is it self built?
Welcome to the forums.It was a EMACHINE T3506, everything inside is new except the motherboard and processor. If you could help me i would be eternally grateful! I can't actually find that model although I'll keep looking.Is the motherboard model possibly 4006117R? I found this listed on a parts website for my Emachine T3506Got it, click here to download. Read this first. Hope this helps.Well BIOS updated succesfully, processor still wont run. This would be the second processor ive returned and im beggining to wonder if they really knew what they were telling me when they said my motherboard could run dual processor. I thought they would know being they made the motherboard but who knows, anyway if anyone kind find some evidence stating clearly my mobo can or cant run dual processor please post so. Thanks for your help so FAR, youve been GREAT!Is this the original eMachines PSU in there ? ? If so that may ALSO be the issue...finally found it on the web, my mobo does not support duo core, so intel and emachine must of been having fun jerking me around. now im trying to decide if i should put in mobo or just buy a new towerI just finished building a new dual-core system and it's a screamer....got it in under budget of $800.00 U.S. without a monitor.
I'm in the process of doing another one for a good friend.With an older system like that I'd go for a brand new system . . . in the long run it'll be much less hassle and will save cash too.
