computer

heLLo everyone... i was just wondering if anyone had a clue what was going on with my computer..... weLL my orginal computer went out so i had to get a rebuilt one..... the truck runs fine stock with the rebuilt computer...when i try to plug in my chip it just throws a CEL light and wont start???? all connections are clean and free of coating... i also tried a downloader type chip the evolution and even that made no difference???? the evolution downloaded into the computer but when you drive the truck there is no difference in power... just feels lyke a stock truck again???? could there be any reason why that computer wont let me down load a chip in it???? thanks everyone!!!
