I have the following parts:

GA-M68SM-S2L, previously amd 4800+ dual core cpu
I updated bios and was able to boot with x4 955 cpu.
But it's stuck with 800mhz

If I try to disable cool and quiet, or oc to stock 3200mhz I'm not able to boot into windows.

First question: is it then better to have the dual core, or the x4 955 @800mhz?
Second question, is there any way to get the x4 955 to performe somewhat more optimal?

Windows starts to boot, but then I get signal loss on my monitor, and neither the keyboard or mouse is working. So its crashing on windows load unless I run @800mhz

I have the F9G Bios, I have a 550w psu, corsair something so its not a psu problem... Its a am3 cpu stuffed in a am2+ motherboard problem I think :/
Temps are also fine, I'm able to set the v.core to 1.325 without any hassles. But as soon as I disable the cool and quite, or try to change the multiplier from auto (x4) to something higher - I post fine, windows starts to load, then I "crash" xD
 


it doesn't matter if you have a 550W or 1000W, PSU's become defective all the time so i wouldn't rule it out when troubleshooting
