I just recently upgraded my hardware as follows:
from:
Athlon II X4 620 @2.6GHz
6GB DDR3 8-8-8 1.65v 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4890
to:
Phenom II X6 1100t @3.3GHz
16GB DDR3 9-9-9-24 1.5v 1600MHz
GTX 560 Ti
and I kept the mobo the same throughout:
MSI NF750-G55
w/ two 500GB SATAII 7200RPM HDDs in RAID0 configuration
When I swapped out the pieces, my first issue was the lack of video output. I checked all the components, and it turned out to be the CPU, I needed to flash new BIOS for it to be supported on my mobo. After booting via USB and flashing the BIOS, I now got video.
When I flashed my BIOS, the RAID configuration was reset and the two drives previously in striped configuration were pulled apart. After I got the CPU support, I re-configured the array. I loaded up my previous Windows 7 install, popped in the video card driver CD, installed drivers, when I was prompted for a restart, I restarted. At first sight of the Windows 7 startup orbs, my computer crashed.
I have been trying different things, and every time I start up it is a different BSOD error. Safe mode crashes as well, and I know I have all drivers up to date.
I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic and the test came back with hardware errors. I pulled the new RAM and popped in 1 stick of my old. Still, every time I start up, BSOD. If memory isn't an issue, that leaves drivers and the CPU. I can't imagine it being drivers (Safe mode crashes as well, and sometimes even the startup repair.) but these errors began immediately after I installed the graphics driver, so it is a huge possibility.
Now, about the CPU, 1100T, I read somewhere about the CPU having an onboard memory controller, and that the CPUs memory controller could be bad? I'm not sure what they were talking about.
I checked to make sure the memory I bought was compatible with Phenom II processors, and it was.
I cannot post the dump info as the OS will not load.
Any ideas?
