Ok so I now have a masive headach after spending all day trying to get my new CPU to work in this crap laptop.

The laptop is a advent 7108 its a clone of the ECS G335 at the moment it only has a seleron M 410 in and I wnted toupgrade to dual core and 64BIT so after doing much reserch I perchased a core2duo T5600 but I dont seem able to get it to work, after fitting it and powering on the laptop there is just a blank black screen, no beeps nothing wont even post to bios screens.

Acording to the G335 user manual it will support a 2 core 64bit intell.

Can someone please tellmewhy it wont work.

Here is a past of some stuff taken from CPU-Z with the current celleron M installed

Chipset i943/940GML

southbridge 820801GHM (ICH7-M/U)

howeverhttp://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/7108.htm this website the one I got information from before buying the CPU says that the chipset is a 945GM express.

So please can you tellme why the new CPU the T5600 will not work I have tested it in another laptop and it is not dead it works

All right, from manual to G335:

Core Logic

> North bridge Intel Calistoga 945GM (940GML), South bridge ICH7-M

Video & Graphics

> Intel® 945GM (940GML) with Embedded 3D engine (New Generation GMA 950)

So You got the (940GML) version of the G335 model

If You have the Mobile Intel 940GML Express Chipset then supported CPU's are:

ok so I have now determined its the 940GML will this support any of the 533MHZ fsb dual core chips cellerons are to hot and I desperatly want to get out of celeron hell and into either core duo or core 2 duo please recomend a duel core that will work on this 940GML chip.

If not can the 940GML be flashed like bios can so it can be upgraded to somthing with more punch
