I think I am going to cry, I've been working on this new computer for 3 hours, and haven't been able to get it to post with an e8400. The e4500 works fine, but not the e8400. Are there any bios tweaks that I need to do before using the e8400?
EDIT: I have already updated my BIOS. Also, if the motherboard does not recognize the CPU, will the CD drive still work? because I can open it and close it and stuff.
edit edit:I tried the motherboard without the CPU and it turns on for about 5 seconds, and then just shuts off. With the e8400, it turns on, and then just sits there. Could this be a bad cpu?
