As per my knowledge if the CPU of the system is to be dead then it means the processor of the system has to be necessary for the replacement. Then there is necessary to create the new CPU supporting environment into the system. The updated BIOS will be doing this kind of task. Then most of the user will be prefer the update BIOS operations before doing this new CPU insertion task. I also suggest you to do the same kind of task for insertion of the CPU. Then select suitable CPU and insert it into the system.
