Try this option if it will work:
HI,
I hope this will help you to boot up your installer.
That is not a problem with the CPU but more likely from the hard drive. I think your hard drive is configured incorrectly that’s why it shows you the message “reinstall the jumper.” You cannot install a new operating system if the hard drive is not configured properly. If you want to install an operating system on the computer, the hard drive must be configured bootable.
And to do this, the drive has to be set to “Master” using the jumper at the back of the hard drive. To check the jumper setting of the hard drive, shut down your computer and open the CPU case. After this, disconnect all the cables connected to the hard drive. Now, check the jumper located right beside where the ribbon cable is connected.
The jumper has to be set to “Master.” You can find the proper setting printed on top of the hard drive itself. See where the jumper should be connected to set it to “Master.”
A standard computer can support up to four separate hard drives and for this to work, each drive has to be configured properly: Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, and Secondary Slave. When you install an operating system like Microsoft Windows, you need to install it on the Master drive because it cannot boot on the Slave drive.
You can install the operating system on any drive, since you can select in the BIOS which drive is the primary boot device, as long as it is set to Master.
