First of all you must ensure that your motherboard actually support the processor you have.
If it is Supported, then maybe only in a newer Bios, and you would need to upgrade your Bios.
If everything is a match and the processor just does not work, then take it out, check for damages and try to put it back in again.
The chances are that it is actually faulty.
There should be no need to upgrade power supply if computer has been running before with a different processor.
If you are unsure regarding the powersupply, then try to disconnect power to harddrives and cd-roms. If this still not do the trick, then maybe the powersupply is faulty.
The processor itself drains approx 95 Watts.
A normal powersupply today support from 360Watts and up.
You should be able to boot up with any powersupply supporting your motherboard.
Be aware that some motherboards might need an extra powercable from supply to a square contact with 4 pins close to the processor. Normal colours on this cable is yellow and black.
If your motherboard has got a connector for this and your powersupply does not have this cable, then this is the most likely cause of your problem.

If I have an older computer what do I need to upgrade to a new processor like the AMD Phenom II X3 ?
You may not be able to upgrade because certain components in your old computer may not be compatiable to some of the new components in a new computer.I would suggest buying a new computer,basic then upgrade how you like.
Does the AMD Phenom II X4 955 have 4 cores?
Yes, the AMD Phenom II X4 955 is a quad core processor meaning that this processor has four cores or CPUs.
Which amd processor turion ot phenom is deisnged for laptops?
Turion
Which amd processor Turion or Phenom is designed for laptops?
Turion for the fact that Turions' are energy efficient so you can go longer on the same battery charge compared to a phenom.
What is the most powerful processor the n68s plus mother board can accommodate?
You can technically go all the way up to the Phenom II 1090T Hexi-Core Processor with this motherboard, but the processor won't be able to be utilized on the older AM2+ socket. I'd suggest the Rana 3 core Athlons or perhaps a Phenom II X4
Is there a dual processor motherboard for an AMD Phenom?
No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.
Will a AMD Phenom 9850 quad-core processor work for playing the sims 2?

Its not needed but recommended for better use.
About how much would a computer store charge me to upgrade my computer to an AMD Phenom II X3 ?
The price for upgrading for this feature will cost around $120-$150 for this upgrade.
How do you identify processor age?
Right click My Computer, and figure out what type of processor you have first. (Pentium III, Pentium 4, Athlon, Phenom, etc). This can narrow you down to a small year range that determines the literal age of your processor. For example, the Phenom II have a maximum age range of 2008-2012. How old it is in terms of years of use? This is something nobody can tell you-- Keep track of this yourself or ask the previous owner of the processor.
What is difference between core and processor?
A processor, or more commonly a CPU, is an individualized processing device. It may contain multiple cores. A core is a bank of registers and dedicated cache structure that performs all of a processor's tasks, but is not an entire processor. For example, more multi-core processors have a separate array of logic functions that are not integrated with the core, such as the Memory Controller in AMD Phenom and Phenom II processors. There is one (or two, in the Phenom II) memory controllers total for the processor, reguardless of the number of cores. Think of a 'core' as a cylinder in an engine. A V8 enginer has 4 'cores', but the engine is the 'processor'. You can have a V12 or a W32 or a V4 or any of another combination, but there's only one processor. However the number of cores can greatly influence the overall power and capability of the processor.
Is the AMD processor adequate for home use?
Depends - AMD make lots of different processors - What one are you looking at (Athlon, Phenom, Sempron)
