Boot error message about system not supporting installed processor
Hello,
I recently upgrade from an E6300 to a Q6700 processor. I got the Q6700 from Dell.
I'm not noticing an error right at the end of the power on cycle and before the OS launches. It says:
System does not support the installed processor.
Please consult your computer documentation for more information.
I choose the Q6700 after talking to sale and technical support. Both of them checked it out and said the processor would work in my system.
System: Dell Precision 390
BIOS: 2.2.0
CPU: Q6700
RAM: 8 GB
HD: 320 & 500 GB SATA
Video: nVidia FX-550
Before I call technical support and wait for them to decide, I'm wondering if anyone here has seen, heard, or knows about this error on a Dell Precision 390.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.
Bert.
