how to know the compatibility of processor to the mother board?

Is it working OK? A P4 works in a LGA775 socket.

It is quite an old processor, maybe unsupported in the BIOS. I'd suggest that your techie has put the cheapest CPU that was kicking around in that board.

Hi, Samson Thanks for the link and explanation. If a processor is not supported in bios , but working, what is the meaning of it? He was having a dozen of processors. He would try one without the fan compartment, to see the graphics on the monitor. Some processors having higher  say 3.5 to 4 dis not show any letter in the monitor. I mean in the bios. Some gave the bios screen. He would then try from lower support version to higher support version, and then he has chosen 2-9 ghz processor.
He says that those model processors are out of stock in market.
Happy to learn from samson new things.
How to say that processor is working. There are some tech terms which i do not understand in cpu z detais.Now i do not have the boot problem. When he just replaced the mb, and fixed my previous processor of 2.666, i got blue screen of death some times and some times, auto boot change to cd dvd in bios.
               Samson, when i type the answer and tab  the space bar in laptop, sometimes, the cursor does jump to some other line in the previous writings. Why this behaviour? By the by , How are you, Boggins, Julian, and Shane. Shane is not coming to the site nowadays.

Samson:
The P4 processor is over 13 years old, XP era, and single core. I would have thought that at least a Core 2 Duo was better for that motherboard and windows 7. But if it works for you, then fair enough I guess. I just hope that you did n't pay a lot for it, the money may have been better used put towards a newer machine.

Hi, Samson, sorry for late reply.
                             Yes , you are correct, i experienced BSOD for 3 times with the error page fault on non paged area in all the times. I viewed the minidump in nirsoft software.
                               I tried so much tweaks, but could not find the solutions. Then i thought of running windows memory test. On opening itself, i got alert of hardware failure found in yellow colour, but the test completed with no output in the reboot. I then called the technician to correct it, and he replaced the mother board with core 2 duo processor. I thought that would end the test period.
                               But again the problem persisted. Then i told him there is serious RAM problem, which was noted when i ran memtest diagnostic. He asked me to replace the RAM to a different slot and check. I did and memory test found no problem in windows diagnostic as well as in memtest86. memtest 86 took more tome to complete but finished without error.
                                How to check that BSOD has been resolved? Is there any idea? Pl give me a link to hardware check tool that will test and report the pass mark  for cpu,mb,and Ram , all in one software for free.How page fault on non paged area is related the RAM?
                                    How can i be sure that RAM is the cause of the BSOD i experienced. Pl reply

Samson:
If you are no longer getting BSOD, then I'd say it is resolved.

Windows Experience Index will give a pass mark for your current hardware.
