It sounds like you need to update your bios to runn with your new processor, i would suggest you consult your bios manufacturer and see if there is an update you can download WARNING: FLASHING YOUR BIOS CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE, i suggest you get a qualified tech to do it for you .
I hope this is of help to you.

check the documentation on the mother board either online or hard copy if you have it. Many times there is a jumper setting that will need changed also.

Based on the info at hand, you may just need to go into the bios and accept the changes. If you bypass that every time, it will start over the next time you reboot.
