    Check you have locked the CPU, remove RAM sticks one at a time and see, replace the old CPU and see if it works or the CPU may be faulty.

    Hi, msa494

    I have a Acer Aspire 5552wxmi :

    Memory: 1 GB
    Harddrive: 60GB
    Chipset: Intel i945PM
    Motherboard: Acer Garda 3
    CPU: Intel Core Duo T2300E @ 1.66 GHz
    OS: WIndows 7 Pro
    Bios: Phoenix version 1.08

    According to the Apire 5550 spec, it can only upgraded to Intel Core Duo T2600 @ 2.16GHz.
    I am interested in how you upgrade to intel core duo T7600 processor.

    Thanks.
