Hi, I bought a refurbished PC some years ago, the Lenovo Thinkcentre M82 SFF with an i3 2120, and i got a second hand processor, the i7 3770 so i could upgrade it a bit. Installation was flawless, removed the heatsink, cleaned the old thermalpaste, appied new one and put back the cpu cooler. Then i plug it in and nothing. I get 3 short beeps, 2 long and 1 short again. I searched the internet a bit but i could not find anything sadly. The processor is supported, if the spec sheet from lenovo is to be believed. and the motherboard chipset says that both CPUs are supported. I tried clearing the CMOS but nothing, i also removed the ram and still the problem persists. Beeps.m4a This is a recording of the beeps. Thanks in advance!

It might be necessary to refresh the BIOS settings on the motherboard. Reinstall the initial CPU, then update the BIOS. Add a new CPU and install the latest version.

You can check for a BIOS update on Lenovo's official website before purchasing.

It's unlikely Lenovo removes older materials similar to what HP handles.

I reinstalled the old cpu, now it just turns on, but i have a blank display... No beeps not lights. It starts up like it would normally do but with no display...

To update your BIOS on a Linux system, you typically don’t need to burn an ISO. Instead, use tools like Rufus to create a bootable USB drive from your installation media. Then plug it into your computer and follow the BIOS setup instructions.
