Hello.
Today i replaced my E6600 with a Q9300 and it was probably the worst thing i could have done. The installation went well but my PC is now unusable. After installing it was ok for a few minutes, was able to use the computer without problems. Then it rebooted itself and then it did it again. And again. Could see the BSOD's but couldn't make out the error (those are never useful anyway). So i said screw it and put my old E6600 back thinking i had gotten a bad processor. Turns out, the BSOD came back at the same exact spot. I made sure to discharge myself from static before touching the components, any clues? Also tried with different ram, a different video card and formatted / reinstalled Vista, disconnected stuff to check the psu was not overloading, checked temps, everything to no avail.
Intel DP965LT
E6600 / Q9300
Geforce GTX 260
650W psu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
