Aurora-R2 CPU upgrade
I have an Alienware Aurora R2 with the P55 chipset and Intel I3-530 processor. I have the A04 bios.
The processor socket is 1156.
I looked at the processor compatibility list and it says that I can upgrade it to a I5-760. (I bought one that I found very cheap)
The question is, do I need to do something before or after changing the CPU?
I tried to put the I5-760, but when I do that, I don't get any signal from the monitor and then the PC turns off and the CPU is very hot.
Help please!

The processor could be DOA. You can try flashing to the latest BIOS available.
