Hi

i have a zotac itx mobo and a 250 watt psu.
The mobo usd to run amd athlon LE1640 and i upgraded the cpu to phenom 9150e today. I pressed the power button and the computer powered on. Fans turned on but mouse and keyboard did not. I dont see the red light from my mouse and the caps lock led does not turn on. The screen doesnt even show the bios and does not show any input. Ive already tried clearing the cmos.

Whats wrong with my computer?


Thanks
 
have you tried putting the old cpu back in the board? which motherboard and do you have the latest bios installed? does the motherboard support the phenom?

Need a little more info for us to help you.

What model Zotac is it? Is the phenom on its supported CPU list?
You replaced a 45w am2 chip with a 65w am2+ chip.
You may need to do a bios update using the old chip prior to dropping in the new one
