Hey guys hope your doing well. I have this really old HP Compaq presario laptop with pentium m and 256 mb ram which was running windows xp, wanted to try any light linux distros that is suitable, as the xp is ancient, i tried lubuntu, puppy linux, alpine (tried mx linux, mint and others which just popped in a kernel panic error) and even tried an old version of Ubuntu to run on this machine, it seems to run just fine untill i open up any application especially the browser any one (light version or the normal one) fr tht matter it just would not run, the cpu usage would show 100% but ram usage was somewhere around 50-60%. I am not sure what else to try from here on out except for throwing it to the scrap, just wanted to make it wrk so that my younger sister could use for web browsing any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks and regards,

Hey Guys, Hope everyone is doing fine. I have a computer with gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 lga 775 motherboard with Core 2 duo E6700 with intel stock cooler, which works fine 3 gb ram, but as the cpu is not greatly suitable for everyday tasks i decided to upgrade my CPU to Core 2 quad 9400 i checked motherboard compatibility it is compatible, but when i swapped the CPU the pc started running, all fans running however the screen on monitor is stuck at motherboard post screen, my keyboard and mouse are not working, cannot boot into BIOS i initially thought the issue must be with the ram but they seems to work fine with my old cpu. Did i buy a faulty CPU?? i bought it online with no return policy. I am literally stuck with this situation any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks and regards,
