Hello everyone,
I'm having some issues with my new CPU (i5-3450). I am using motherboard ECS H61H2-M2 (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1228&MenuID=103&LanID=0). The issue is when using the new CPU, it will post, go into BIOS just fine (which recognizes the new chip) but it won't boot past that. It will not load Windows. I've updated my bios and drivers as the website asks and the ECS bios tool says everything is up to date.
I thought maybe I would need to reformat, so I popped in my Windows Disc. With the i5, it will not load. With my Pentium G860, it will load the boot disc. Did I get a faulty processor?
Any ideas that I might be overlooking? I really appreciate the help guys.
