Well then get an Intel one.
Make sure the sockets match your motherboard.
it fit completely its just you literaly have to buy one from compaq/hp themselves i guess.
I have a compaq and no complaints... ive fixed it up to the point where its a decent computer, you just probably bought a cpu that is not compatible with your motherboard. to fix it, you need a new mobo.
