sonab · #1 21st Feb 2009, 03:37

I bought a new Core 2 quad 9550 2.8 Ghz processor and new motherboard Gigabyte P43C-DS3.
I installed it on my computer and i checked that all installed correctlly.
Now, when i turn my computer on, he comes to the part that loading information about what i have in computer and then stuck....or if i go to bios its stuck there too after some seconds...and sometimes its just do restarts... .
Someone can help me please?

Does Windows try to load or do you not get that far?

I dont get that far...
u know that chart( bus/dev/fun..etc) when he generating information about the computer? so its stuck there, and the last line its "ACPI Controller"..

Is the processor and heatsink fitted correct? Did you use thermal paste? Sounds like it could be overheating. Try a BIOS reset also.

Am guessing you installed your o/s again after adding new hardware? Sounds as if its trying to read from hardware that isnt there on the disk or such , If you have freshly installed a new o/s after adding new mobo and cpu then make sure all your connection are set proper, the front panel connectors etc JFP1 JFP2 if it is that you didnt reinstall o/s then make sure to reset your cmos before doing so.

That's what I first thought, except this is a BIOS halt, Windows starts beyond that.

i checked all connection, flashed the cmos...and still nothing. And i didnt installed new o/s

Remove everything except mobo, CPU, PSU, 1 RAM stick and onboard GFX or GFX card.

Nothing else! No front panel connections except power switch, no drives, no add-on cards.

What happens?

You didnt reinstall/format the HDD with a fresh install of XP or Vista after installing new motherboard and cpu? If am reading this right, and you said you didnt? , then i think that is why you cant get passed the boot.

You have to reinstall the operating system . otherwise the computer wont boot into windows. because your HDD is still setup and has drivers installed for you old motherboard and chipset etc.

Do a reinstall and then it will boot as normal after that.

Just other day i had same problem, i put in a new motherboard and it wouldnt boot, i think cpu is plug and play but if you have install a new motherboard aswell then you need to reformat your hdd with a fresh install of your o/s
