Hello, so i got a new cpu a while ago (fx8350). It worked fine for 2days when suddenly the computer died during prime95. It wouldnt boot so i changed back to my old cpu and it worked. I returned the broken cpu and got a new one. I changed to the new one and the computer now boot with no problem. After about a week of usage same thing happend. :(  What is wrong? Is it my motherboards fault? I ran the cpu at stock (4.0Mhz).
PC specs:

Cpu- Fx8350 (old cpu is fx6100)
Gpu- Gtx560ti oc
Psu- Corshair cx 500w
Ram- 2x 4gb vengange 1600
Mobo - Msi 760GM-E51 (FX)

well checking MSI's webpage the board does not show that it supports the FX8350. the highest it supports is the FX8300 which is only 95watts, the FX8350 is 125watts.

Have you updated the bios to the latest and greatest from MSI?

faalin seems to have the best bet so far.. msi's page is blocked here at work... sounds like the cpu isn't directly supported, and his suggestion of a bios update MAY work

Is updating BIOS safe?
