cpu upgrade
Posted: Tue May 10, 2011 9:10 pm
Hi Rather than buy a new computer i am trying an upgraded cpu So i purchased an intel dual core 3.4 to replace an intel 1.6 dual
When installed the bios recognises the cpu but windows7 wont load, machine shuts down and then will only start for approx 20 seconds with a blank screen. I have an asrock dx90 vsta motherboard which will take up to fsb1066. The 3.4 is not on the list of cpus for this board, but because it loaded i am wondewring if there is some way to use this cpu. Is win 7 the problem ? Hope you can help
