New Mobo and Proccessor install hellpp!!!!

Ram would be my guess. You can make a memtest86+ boot disk and test it. Or if you can't do that, pull all but one stick of ram and try the install. If it makes it, then do the memtest. If it doesn't, try another single stick.

Lets start with that. I've had the same issue where the install would fail at various times and it wasn't till I tried it with one stick of ram that it would finish. So I tried booting with the other stick and nothing but error beeps during the POST.

If by stops, you mean completes, no, you can add the ram and no other settings/installs will have to be done.

If it freezes again, then we'll try the next level of diagnostics.

Yeah the computer will be fine with them put back in, but now you have to find the bad stick of ram. Once setup is done, put them all in. Use the free download to make a boot disk of this: http://www.memtest86.com/
Run it, let it do its thing and find the bad stick of ram. Do you know how to make an ISO into a cd?

Otherwise, you can use just one stick at a time and trade them and when you have problems, that's your bad stick. Pull it and get it replaced. But the memtest might be the safer route.

If you weren't pushing your CPU to the max before, probably not a bunch. If you're doing production editing, moreso than in gaming cuz it uses the cache more. You can OC the E8400 and probably notice a fair bit of increase though.

Any other help needed, just ask. I'll be checking out for the night soon though. Hopefully, someone else chimes in if needed.

+1 to that. I was going to post the exact same thing as I was reading through the different posts. The problem could very well be incorrect RAM settings in the BIOS. Please post which exact RAM you're using.
