Hey Guys, I am in deep trouble or I should say my beautiful gaming machine is in deep trouble since I upgraded the CPU, that resulted into overall upgradation of these components :

OLD CMP------------------------------------------------------> NEW CMP
E7500 Core2Duo 2.93Ghz ---------------------> AMD FX6300 3.5Ghz
CPU Stock Fan------------------------------------> Coolermaster X212
Asus Mobo-----------------------------------------> Gigabyte Mobo that supports OC
Nvidia GTX 5601GB (still using the same)

When I first boot the sys post installing these new components, it gave me windows7 starup error, probably that bcoz of new mobo, hence driver conflicts. So, I reinstalled Windows7 but that too after doing Quick Format by right click on C: . So after insatllin new Windows7 and after playing few highend graphic games, my system started hitting blue screen errors and at times it also halts on boot screen and ask to review setting for Overclocking which I never changed intentionally, probably by mistake I did (not sure though). Also, see windows struggling to get launched and I have to reboot..safe boot then and then again in normal mode. So, this has been the trend for last 15-20 days.
I am not sure where the problem lies, I am running CPU a 3.5GHz now (for sure) but still windows struggle to launch ..all this said I never had any issues or shut downs while playing the games..like BF3, FIFA13 etc..

I am sorry for this long story..but please help me guys, I have also ran too for disk check and memory check all are fine. Now, should I reinstall windows7 ? was there an issue with the way I format the disk last time ?

Please suggest !

Thanks
-Rahul

THanks for replying..I did reinstall the windows soon after installing these new component as windows was not launching. Please read through the way I did disk format before reinstalling the windows..is that an issue ?

Yes, and if not it can turn into an issue later on, Format ONLY through the Windows Setup!

Hmm..thanks. Well yeah, this would be 2nd on my list of steps that I'll perform to fix this whole issue. I'll first check the temp of GPU, if that's is okay then going to level ZERO and will reformatt and reinstall the windows.
Appreciate your help.

Do you overclock ? - Not I wanted to but yes when I saw CPU running at 4.1GHz in initial days then I realised BIOS settings were so that it was OC the CPU. Now, I have my machine running at 3.5ghz (stock speed)
Are you using the old power supply ? - Its cooler master 600 v power supplier should not be the root cause here.
What's your GPU ? - Nvidia GTX 560 1GB.
Check your hard drive health (hard disk sentinel trial) - Ah ! thanks never thought of this tool, I'll try running this test on my Harddisk.
Monitor your temps with msi afterburner (GPU) - Next on my to do list.
coretemp (CPU) - Max 50 celcius while gaming.
