I found a decent buy on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 for my home use.
It came with a single, quad-core processor and has an empty socket and I want to add another cpu.
The CPU it came with is a Xeon quad core X5365 running at 3ghz.
To add to my 2950 I recently just purchased a Xeon quad core X5365 also running at 3ghz.
I assumed it should work.
I installed it and added a poweredge 2950 heat sink.
When I boot up I get past the bios load, then it just dies.
If I try to go into the bios it dies as well.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what?
Should this cpu work with my 2950?
