I have an Asus P5E3Deluxe WiFi-AP@n MB and have been running it with a Q6600 Intel CPU and it was working fine.
I deceide to upgrade the CPU to a Q9450 Intel CPU and I can't get the darn thing to boot up.
Downloaded all the latest BIOS etc.
When the computer boots up it sees the CPU and it's listed on the screen but it only goes so far into the boot up process and stops dead. I get nothing. Seems like it won't load the OS which by the way is Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version.
When I take out the new CPU and put in the old one everything goes just fine.
Asus website says this MB is compatable with the quad core CPU's.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
