Your setup has a Dell Precision T5500 motherboard and a W3670 Xeon processor. It seems to function properly with another Xeon, suggesting the issue might not be with the motherboard itself. Could an older BIOS version be the cause? Let me know if you need further guidance.

You're asking about a malfunction and suggesting an update to the BIOS.

It says that there is no CPU. The BIOS is years out of date. Do you think that updating it will fix it? The CPU came 1 year after the mobo.

Yes, the x6xx processors from Westmere require an updated BIOS to function properly.

Thanks a lot! Swapping the mobile screens didn't work—was that typical?
