Changed the processor does not turn on the monitor

When looking for RAM, you can see a mention of its compatibility with AMD or Intel processors. Do not worry, this does not mean that one will not work for the other.

How to check if the monitor and processor are compatible

Often RAM comes with two "XMP" profiles set by the manufacturer that are optimized for a particular microprocessor. Most microprocessors of any brand usually work with these profiles, although sometimes a little tuning for higher nominal speeds may be required.

To make sure your motherboard is compatible, you need to look at which socket and chipset your microprocessor is compatible with. Such a check is needed, for example, when, after changing the monitor or processor, the monitor does not turn on.

A socket refers to the physical connector on the motherboard that holds your microprocessor in place. This can be easily determined by simply looking at the socket size for the processor and motherboard that you are going to use.

REFERENCE! If you try to connect the microprocessor to the wrong type of socket, you can ruin the processor and / or motherboard. Then you cannot do without replacement and additional costs.

How to check the connection

The first step to finding out if your PC’s processor is working is to see what happens immediately after it is turned on. This is due to the fact that many motherboards emit different sound signals to indicate problems. Another way is to connect the processor to a test computer that has working equipment and is compatible with the microprocessor that needs to be tested. You should work with the internal equipment of your PC only if you have enough experience in repairing your computer to avoid further damage.

1. Unplug the power cord from both computers (also remove the battery on the laptop). Remove the radiator and microprocessor from the computer, which, as you suspect, has a faulty electronic unit; also remove the microprocessor and heatsink from the test computer if you have not already done so.
2. Connect the microprocessor and heatsink to a second test computer that uses the same type of processor. Plug in the power cord.
3. Turn on the computer. If the PC does not boot into the BIOS or produces the same sequence of sound signals, it is likely that the processor is not working.

What are some other reasons?

Take into account the fact that even if you think that your electronic unit is damaged, most likely it is not.

REFERENCE! Most often, the symptoms that you think indicate damage are related to problems that are not related to your electronic unit.

Before taking steps to diagnose problems, consider whether there have been two main causes of damage in the recent past - electrical problems, such as a power surge or device malfunction, or fluid in a computer. Then, remove the case cover to expose the inside of the computer, get a user manual, and begin to find out if your processor is really damaged.
