You had a computer before this I take it? If so, do you still have it? If so, what processor was in it?

Sounds like a pretty common problem that is a little hard for most people to test.

FX chips are newer than most all the motherboards that work with them. If the board really was made before the chip was released, then it will need a BIOS update in order to be able to use the FX chip.

You can't do that without having a different CPU that is compatible laying around. I was hoping your old computer was an AMD for that purpose, but no dice.

If you are going to get a technician to come to your house, tell him to bring a Phenom 2 processor with him when he comes out.

Else, you could try buying an AM3 capable processor from Ebay or Craigslist, you might be able to get one for $20 that would work long enough to do the BIOS update and switch it out again.

I don't know how much the tech will charge you, but probably more than that. I can't guarantee you that it is the BIOS problem that I am describing, but its not uncommon at all to have this problem for people with new FX chips.

Basically you would be taking a chance at a lower cost or going with an option that is most certainly going to cost more and most certain to actually work too. Your pick.
