This is my system
Asus Crosshair mb
AMD 6000+
4 gig OCZ memory
BFG 8800 GT OC
ULTRA 700 watt power supply
2- WD Raptors in raid
This is my problem. I decided that the 6000+ was a bit old and I wanted to upgrade the CPU. I looked on Asus's website and according to them if I flashed the Bios to the latest "1207" I could run a AMD Phenom x4 9950. So I bought the CPU and installed it with no problems and the computer boots showing the new CPU. I boot into the Bios and make sure everything in there was ok and I didn't change anything. Now when I try to boot into Windows the computer shuts itself off at the Windows Logo. I tried this about 5 times both in normal boot and safe mode. It stays in the bios with no problems. I even left it there for 30 min. What could be causing the computer to automatic shut itself off at the Windows logo ? Could it be the power supply was failing and now with the added wattage of the new cpu " 85 watt to 125 watt" stress the power supply to the point of it turning the power off as a safety action ? Any help you guys can give me would be great.
