Hello all! I have an issue that I'm unable to remedy.
My Motherboard is an Asus H61M-K
I also have a single 8GB 1333 MHz RAM Stick
Both parts are brand new, I was using an i5 2400 (My motherboard doesn't support it apparently but works fine nonetheless) Hence why i tried an i5 3470.

Anyway, I continue to get a blue screen of death no matter what i do (keep in mind i went back to my i5 2400 and have no issues with that CPU even though my motherboard apparently doesn't support it) What can i do to remedy this situation? Obviously it's something to do with the i5 3470 CPU right?

That's a common BSOD for hardwdare incompatibility. Pop in the 2400 so it's stable and update the BIOS as garrettk4 said. It's usually a good idea to read the CPU compatibility list on the motherboard manufacturers website; they'll list the CPUs that will work out of the box, and the ones that need a BIOS update.

Downlaod the newest BIOS version LINK, and flash it (google how to do that).

It's weird because that motherboard is actually newer than when the chip came out, but you never know...

When you change out the CPUs... Did you ever overclock on that motherboard? Or is everything on auto? It might be that the 3470 gets too little voltage for what it's running at and crashes the PC.

If you can, tell us what the error message is of the BSOD, and try to reset bios settings.
