Hello!

Had a question for anyone here..

Just upgraded from an i7 920, to an i7 980x... now at startup it seems to struggle... like it resets on its own 5 - 6 times before starting up.

When the system does get up, it seems to stay up, and is fairly stable.

Think this might be related to power consumption, or should i seek a refund?
 
Solution
Can I have a full specs list please? This could be due to multiple things... did you completely reset your BIOS after changing to the new CPU? An old voltage setting or any other settings from the last CPU could cause instabilities. I would try that first.
