I recently replaced my Intel i3 with an i5, but my computer isn’t starting. I’ve reset the CMOS, changed the battery, checked for bent pins, and even reinstalled the i3, yet it still won’t boot. Do you have any chance left?

You need to confirm the correct motherboard, i3, and i5 details. Share all relevant info so I can assist you properly.

Ensure the BIOS is up to date before installing the new CPU.
