Hello everyone......
I bought a new processor: FX 6300,I think I installed it right...
There was thermal paste already on the cooler so i did not put any other thermal paste..
At first CPU was overheating....
After around 30 minutes of usage the computer freezes and I have to restart it...
Now I removed 1 4GB RAM stick and the cpu temeratures were lower but steel stopped working..
Now I put that stick into the computer and removed another stick..
CPU temperatures are even lower and after 20 minutes didnt have any freeze..
I’ll keep you informed is it freezing but please tell me some solution to this problem...
BTW: Bios is the newest one 1601
Old CPU was Athlon X3 450(When I put him in everything is working)..
Other specs: M5A78LM LE
HD 7770
2X 4GB RAM(KINGSTON KVR13N928/4)
1X 500GB HDD
LOGIC 500W PSU(32a on 12v rail)

The Power supply is very poor.

While I agree that the power supply isn't very good quality, it's sufficient for this build. Are you using the same heat sink and fan on the CPU or did you buy a new one with thermal compound on it. I ask because re using thermal compound on a CPU does not work. When thermal compound is applied to a CPU it cures between the heat sink and processor to allow thermal conduction. Bear in mind the CPU uses a built in memory controller, thus the fewer memory modules installed the less stress gets put on the CPU
