hello
i recently upgraded my processor from Intel dual core E2160 1.8ghz to Core 2 duo E8500 3.16ghz with 1333 FSB and x9.5 mutiplier . my mobo is mercury PI945gcm
In specification it is written it supports upto 1333 MHZ FSB
http://www.mercury-pc.com/product-detail.php?link=p-mainboards&subtitle=Mainboard&productid=751
After installing, my pc started with some problems like vlc player fails to play HEVC format videos, games lags, wont reboot.
so wat i did , i again put back my old processor to check & it worked fine.
Next day i again reinstalled the core 2 duo processor, the problems resolved except for 1, i.e. IT WON'T REBOOT. i.e after the windows shutting down screen, it says no vdo output , entering sleep mode, although the power is on along with all the fans running. In order to reboot i have to manually pressed the restart button.
But in CMOS setting if i change the CPU Voltage from Auto to 1066 FSB it reboots.
Note: my processor multiplier is reduced from x 9.5 to 6.0 (no option to increase in bios) making it run at 330*6= 1980 mhz= 1.98 ghz instead of 3.16 ghz,
My pc spec:
PI945GCM mobo, core 2 duo 3.16 ghz, Ram DDR2 667 mhz 2gb, Nvidia GT630 1gb graphics card.
my Questions are
As the board and processor is working properly , why wont it reboot?
Is the CPU not compatible?
or mobo supPorts onli 1066fsb?
note -no bios update from vendor.
Plz giv some experience anwers.
