I have an HP Compaq 8000 Elite Ultra Slim PC that I use as a server. Because it has an LGA775 core 2 duo, I bought a core 2 quad with the same socket (I don't know the exact model # of the CPU but it is a 2.5ghz quad core). Upon installation of the new hardware, my computer gave me a beep and a screen saying: "1802-Processor not supported The system board does not support this processor". Along with my computer information and menu options. I have updated my BIOS twice, my CPU microcode, and my Intel Management Engine firmware , but to no avail. Why is this problem still occouring? Is the CPU simply incompatible with my motherboard?

    There is more to CPU compatibility than just using the same socket. OEM computers tend to be quite restrictive in such matters. – LMiller7 Dec 09 '17 at 06:07

According to the Illustrated Parts and Service Map the only C2Q CPUs that can be used with it are the Q8400S, the Q9505S, and the Q9550S, none of which is a 2.5GHz part.

Using the 2.4 GHz 4 Core 8 MB cache CPU, my HP Compaq 8000 Elite Ultra Slim Desktop didn't want to work with this CPU: 2.83 GHz 12 Mb cache 4 core. After some research i do believe that only CPU with 65 Watts tdp can work in this PC, however i put to work the Q6600 here, only low power CPU whit 65 Watts tdp

  • I think Julio was pointing out from his experience only a 65W CPU works in this PC model. He must assumed the poster was using a CPU requiring more power. He SHOULD link to the 'research' he did. It seems english may not be his first language so I tried to edit it to clean it up some – gregg Jul 13 '20 at 20:45
  • Well, about the 65 Watt limit, i figure out myself after trying 2.83 GHZ CPU 4 core 12 MB cache, and also a 2.66 GHZ CPU 4 core, and analyzing the list of CPU and checking the TDP of each one, however, i do not now why, i got the 2.4 GHZ CPU 4 core 8 MB cache working, and that CPU have the TDP higher than 65 Watt – Julio Norona Jul 15 '20 at 00:46
