Hi, everyone I need your help. I just replaced my old Intel Core 2 Dou @ 1.83Ghz 65w CPU with a new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz 95w CPU. Ever since I put the new CPU in my Abit IP-35 Pro main board it says the cpu temp is 217 degrees F. This is NOT correct. I have tried resetting the bios by flipping the switch and via the jumper and removing the bat. none of these worked to solve the problem. So I disabled the CPU temp feature so I could load windows. Once in windows the device manager says "unknown" for the CPU... with temp. enabled in BIOS Windows will load but will not run.
What I have tried to fix the problem...
Resetting the BIOS
Reseating the CPU, heat sync, thermal compound
REPLACING the CPU with a new one
Updating the BIOS
E-mailing ABIT... lol
System Specs
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 present //// Intel Core 2 duo 1.83ghz not sure what # was
Abit IP 35 Pro
Kingston DDR2 1066 1gb x 4 Dual Channel 4gb RAM
Western Digital 150gb Raptor x 2 RAID 0 SATA
Western Digital 650gb Non Raid Backup SATA
NVIDIA 8800 GTX SLI x 2
Linksys Wireless PCI card
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
Antec Smart Power 550
Again the only thing that changed was the CPU!!!
PS - I sold the old CPU to buy the new one so I no longer have it.
Thank you for your help!!!!
