Intel CPU Freezes After Upgrade from Dual Core Pentium D 805 CPU to Core 2 Quad Q9500 or Q9400
Hi Guys,
My CPU is one that I built with parts purchased myself.
CPU - Dual Core Intel Pentium D 805 2666MHz 2MB Cache.
Wanted to change to Core 2 Quad Q9400
MotherBoard - Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo v1
Memory - 2 x 2GB Sticks - SPD - DIMM1 - SK Hynix and DIMM2 - SK Hynix
BIOS - Award Modular Ver F3
I checked everything before purchase of the Processor that will it support my Mobo or not.
The Mobo Supports this processor (Q9400) It runs fine at 32 Degrees for some time.
It suddenly freezes and nothing moves from the computer. The mouse does not move. The keyboard does not respond. I have to either do a hard reset or press the power button long enough to turn it off completely before restarting. The Display does not go anywhere and keeps displaying whatever was there on the computer when it froze. Moreover I have had a clock running at the back just to be sure that its not just the keyboard or mouse not working but the computer is actually frozen.
I updated all the drivers using WIndows Update and have Windows 7 Ultimate Retail Disk. Without SP1 which I have to download through Updates.
Once changed the computer freezes and does not help at all. Max 10 Minutes I can work and the time duration shortens if it repeatedly turn on the computer again and again.
More over the computer may freeze at any point in time be it loading windows or after logging in while logging in anytime.
I had installed AIDA64 to run benchmark tests but it did not yield much. I can offer any details you request.
Please help me with this I will be as expressive as one can be over forums. I have changed back to my original processor that is Pentium D805 which is working fine as usual.
Kindly Help
