I need help. I got this cpu as an upgrade from my current cpu and when I placed the new cpu in my PC flickers but doesn't turn out.

Is the cpu at fault or the power supply?

Same system parts except for cpu?

 

[Nick Wroten]

Probably not a great idea to flick the power like that. Probably a bad connection or faulty power supply

The same thing happened to me when I upgraded my PC, but it was just a bad connection. Maybe try tightening the cables?

Is the BIOS updated?

 

[Chris Sheldon]

Did you make sure the CPU is properly aligned in the socket?

 

[Liam Parkin]

This happened to me, either make sure its sitting properly but for some reason my ram came loose, but that wouldn't make it flicker. I say you take it out and try again. If nothing happened again try installing the old cpu again and if it doesn't work then its your power supply.
