So you selected the GM45 not the CM45, they are 2 different boards.

You need to be sure that you have the GM45 otherwise your new cpu won't even work.
Download cpu-z and see what it says about your mobo and bios info.

The chipset has to be the 945G not the 945GC, cpu-z will also tell you this.

Get the Seasonic or Corsair if you can afford it although the OCZ will do you fine if you want to save some cash.

Which Corsair? I changed it to a 550w for nearly the same price?

Still do bios update, have you checked you don't have the latest already?

^Don't need that link.

You have to run the bootdisk file from your desktop to create the bootable usb drive.

Then put the Foxconn files on the bootable usb drive.

Download the latest bios file and copy the files to your bootable usb drive usb drive.

So how'd you get it to work, you are sure its updated ok, check it in bios and cpu-z.

Don't overlook the possibility you have a dud cpu, any way you can try it in another machine?

Thing is the E7500 is a 65w and your old D925 needs more juice as its a 95w so don't think its psu.
So you updated the bios and booted into windows fine with the old cpu.
Then changed cpu's and reset the bios before firing up again?

If its not on the supported list its not a good start, you could email Foxconn for confirmation.

Did you buy it new, can't you return, pick up a e6600, they clock well and might be a bit cheaper.

Be sure to get the C2D E6600 and not the Pentium E6600.
