You have just upgraded the processor on your computer. Now, the computer does not finish the POST. Which of the following may be the most likely cause of this?
  1. BIOS is not flashed.
  2. Processor is not seated properly.
  3. Incorrect jumper settings on the processor.
  4. The new cache size on the processor is too low.
Explanation
Answer - B - If the computer is not able to finish the POST after a processor upgrade, it is most likely that the processor is not seated properly.

Key Takeaway: Many times, a crucial component upgrade will not get the computer to finish the POST. For a POST to occur, processor, memory, and motherboard should be in good shape. If the processor is not seated properly or the processor pins are bent, the computer will not finish the POST process.
