UPGRADE GA-P31-DS3L with INTEL Core 2 Quad Q9650

by gerardbedell . Updated 17 years ago

Hi All,

I am attempting to upgrade the cpu of my GA-P31-DS3L with F10a BIOS
To an INTEL Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0 GHz 12MB Yorkfield purchased from tekheads this week.

However, the system hangs (freezes) at Windows Bootscreen when cpu is in.

I have tried as many tweaks as i can think of including many different BIOS configurations.

Would you guys have any idea what the issue may be and can you think of any configurations I can try to fix the problem. It’s a shame if it won’t work because it looks like a real good processor and i really don’t want to have to sell it on via EBAY…

Thanx in advance for your advice. Gerard
