old processor upgrade

I bought an intel celeron 1.4 ghz processor for an old dell optiplex gx110. The original processor was a pentium 3 at 800mhz. and the celeron fits into the socket 370 slot but when i turn it on with it in the light just turns yellow, the bios doesn't even show up. I changed the bios setting to compatible but no difference (the pentium still works fine)

(I know your going to fuss at me for owning this computer and trying to use it... and its definitely not my main computer by the way)

The processor isn't supported. GX110's only support PIII chips up to 1Ghz (100Mhz/FSB).
