Hey guys!
I just bought an AMD Fx 8320 and An ASRock 970 extreme4 motherboard! When i opened my processor case i found that the one of the pins on the processor was bent.. so i bent it back and installed the processor on the borad. But when i wanted to install the cooler (the stock cooler), it was pretty hard to get it right so i used some force and i made it! Then when i turned on the pc, everything was fine, everything was running smoothly and i installed windows and it was done! but then when i wanted to install the driver for the inthernet, in the middle of the installation my computer frooze.... so i had to restart it and efter the windows logo i get "the blue screen of death"! :(
First i thought it was the harddrive that was the problem, so i used a new harddrive and it happened exactly the same problem!
Have i done something wrong? do i have to do something with the bios or something like that? or is it the processor/motherboard that is the defected?

Please help me! :(

TY :)
 
The problem maybe from MB, fx8320 may not compatible the MB. Look at the MB cup support list, the fx8320 is not there, http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU even the MB say it can support the 8-cores cpu, also in the download BIOS section, the newer version (2.60) came out 11/15/2013, and you look at the fx 8150 (TDP 125W, which is as same as fx8320), there is red marker, the note is " For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design" because the MB only has the 4 + 1 power phase design, and the MB can only power up some 8-cores cpu but not all of them like the fx 8320. If the MB use with those more power consumption cpu you need cool down the MB components because it is over heat.

If you want to try, you can unclock the cpu to 3.8Ghz or even lower to see you can boot the PC or not? You should get the other MB like ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+, which is the best and cheaper one for the fx 6 r 8 -cores cpu.
