So, your system had a single processor, you attempted to add a second ("upgrading with a second CPU"), and since then you get no video? Or did you replace both ("swapped out back to the original...

Correct, one processor which was attached to the heat sink with thermal compound and is still in tact. Attempted an upgrade to second CPU and has since been failing. Thank you.

You MUST remove the processor from the heatsink. Attached, there is NO way to properly seat and latch the processor in place. I suggest using a credit card to separate them, as it is unlikely to...

Probably ;)If you browse the contents of the CD, do you see your ISO file? You must burn the ISO as a disk image to create a CD from. Not all burning software can do this. If using Windows 7 or 8,...

That is the importance in separating the heatsink and processor (this is NOT by design) ... you cannot use the locking arm to secure the processor when it is attached to the heatsink ... AND it is much...
