I bought a new core 2 quad q6600
And after installing it in my lga775 motherboard my cpu beeps 3 times..
Before buying this core 2 quad q6600
I had a pentium dual core e5500
Which worked fine...
Motherboard - Intel DG41WV
Ram -4gb ddr3
Psu- 450 watts

Your motherboard might not support that CPU.
Back in the days of Socket 775, i bought a Pentium D to replace my Pentium 4. Didn't work. Wasn't supported even though it fit the socket.

Check if you are running the latest bios. If not, see if the newer one says something about added support for Core 2 Quad.

A bios update won't solve it as the cpu support doesn't even show it. The Q6600 would be in that list if there was a bios update for it.
