Hello all, I just got a Phenom ii x4 960t processor, and installed it on a pegasus m2n78-la board, which is an AM3 socket, and the phenom 960t is a am3 cpu, but when I installed it, and tried to boot, it gave me an error message, saying "Error: unsupported cpu detected, PC will shut down in a few seconds" Any idea what's going on here? is a new mobo needed? was the CPU DoA?
