possible that the motherboard(bios) might not be able to run that cpu. check motherboard site for newer bios than yours & see if there is a list of cpus for your board that cpu is on it or not

Yeah, it might be compatible now but only with a BIOS update. You'll probably have to put your celly back in and flash the bios and then stick the P4 back in.
