Tried to upgrade cpu

I have a biostar TF570 SLI A2+ that had a amd 64x2 cpu that I upgraded to a amd 9750 x4, sys wouldn’t boot with new cpu so I reinstalled my orig cpu and it wont boot with that either, reset cmos and now I get a tone that oem says no mem detected or installed. Never touched the mem, is my cpu shot or my mem shot?

the new cpu is on my mobo's support list but it is the higest cpu it says the board supports, also it is the 2nd cpu i tried, used a 9650 the first time, thought i had a bad cpu and it was replaced by the seller for a 9750, and the first time when i tried the 9650 i just put my orig cpu back in and it lit up no prob

just found out that the cpu the seller replaced is a 125 watt vs 95 9750vs 9650 and my mobo is a 95 watt board, so did i fry the mem? or the board as i said my board is giving tone of no mem installed

that sounds good, i use it as a media center pc, music movies, etc, some web stuff, but i usually run multiple apps and put it thru its paces, i am have dual geoforce 8600 vid cards, dont use both but would also like the same type of mobo, as far as # of sata conn's (running 2 ide dev and 7 sata's)
yeah the guy screwed up, i have been strictly a intel guy and this is my first foray into amd, i'm getting a err msg from the mobo that says mem is not installed, so i am hoping that i only fried the mem, gonna pick up a stick of ddr2 and find out, send me info on the boards/cpu's your talking about, thanks

also i have the crossfire jumper but dont even know what it does! btw what is a good amd cpu then? as for mobos i like msi or biostar or gigabyte

yeah give me the make and model of the 1 cent mobo, i would really like to check that out

Touchy, touchy.....Geez

Here is a CPU

not really but to tell me about a penny mobo and get mad at me cuz his link wont work for me..
then tell me "i can get you a cpu/mobo for 100' and then tell me it's not poss? all i gave him was a list of what i'd like to have, and what i could spend right now, that's all, just wanted answers not drag stuff out

thanks for the links, for the money think i'd go with the phenom II, been an intel guy so amd is kinda new to me, i like the board, but can wait to get one a little higher up (i need at least 6 sata conns) i'm (was) running a tf570sli A+ dual geof 8600 2 ide dev's and 6 sata's, 2 exp cards, all i wanted to do was upgrade from a dual core 4000+ to a 9650 quad, and ended up with a 9750 that fried my mobo, i knew i couldnt run a 125 watt cpu in a 95w board just didnt know the 9750 was 125w (9650 yeah 95 w) soooo here i am, thanks!

will check em, whats the diff between athlon,sempron, phenom, etc?

Sempron is OK, Athlon is better, Phenom is good, Athlon II is a new socket type i.e. AM3, Phenom II is the best...The good thing is most these will fit on the same board as opposed to changing boards everytime you want to upgrade..Thats my $0.02 worth on it

Yes you can run a Phenom II X4 on that board no problems..... you might want to update BIOS other than that its perfect.

ok then that is what i will do i will go ahead and get the board and then that cpu asap or vice versa, i just needed to get back up and running that's why i was on such a tight budget, soon as next month hits it wont be so tight. what is the between the 940 vs 1090 other than 4 core vs 6 core? i dont know that i really need 6 core (course it would be nice) the 'computer junkie' in me always wants the most....

i had a grip long time ago, what i was getting pissed about is the idiot who sold me the cpu i gave the specs of my board twice, he either knew or shoulda known that was a 125w cpu, i asked you 2 or 3 times for the sku/make/model of the board and told you twice that the link wouldnt work, of course i didnt expect to get the board without the cpu, cant believe they wont ship (i understand the concept of instore spec) just supprised that if they want to get rid of it they wont ship, normally i am not this cranky but if somebody cooked your only running box you'd be pissed too!! i am just in a $$ crunch right now, i do appreceate all the help....

Thats good....4 cores are a plenty unless you just like over doing it...

OH the 500 gb was external

Indeed ric companies that do not ship are idiots for sure...WTF is that all about anyways some kind of mind f*** . Oh well, I only shop at Tigersdirect, Newegg, and FrozenCPU.com....They have anything you'd ever need for a computer I am sure there are other vendors that ar good but I stick to the ones with a good track record for customer service. Screw microcenter or whatever its called they don't ship their specials I guess thats why they are called the microcenter...its getting'em nowhere

i am one frackin lucky sob, one bad stick of mem, pulled it and she lit right up, runs dead dog slow with only a gig of mem but she runs!!! and what i dont get is i bought a brand new stick and it wouldnt lite, hmmmmm, prob gonna b a buggy board from here on out, thanks again guys !!
