 |  CPU upgrade problem I upgraded my CPU from an Athlon 3800+ to a 3800+ X2, my motherboard recognises it etc but in windows it randomly shut down and now i cant even get into windows, i just get a BSOD  temps were fine, core 1 was 31 degrees and core2 was 37 degrees according to coretemp and my GPU was at a steady 49 degrees celcius please help update: installed old cpu everything is fine, my new one must be faulty

| Re: CPU upgrade problem The bios MIGHT need to be updated, depending on how old the mobo is and also, you can use this (Dual core Optimizer) to help with the Windows problem and the CPU. AMD Athlon™ 64/FX Processor Utilities & Updates if that doesn't help, then I might say check your CPU, but I'm not sure it's the CPU right off the bat. Just because your mobo sees the CPU doesn't mean it can operate with it properly. Last edited by Nukem; 12-25-2007 at 03:22 PM. |

| Re: CPU upgrade problem It's not JUST for gaming as it stated... when I bought my first DC, I used it and my freezing up stopped, but more importantly, at this point... what would it hurt to try it? |
