Hi all, i have been thinking about swapping over form my e6600 dual core to a Q6600 quad core processor
i have a GM 41 gigabyte mother board it says it supports it, well a mate gave me a q6660 which i fitted
i did boot to windows (7, 64 bit) once, then i got a message saying i need to re start, which i did,
now it hangs on the welcome screen.
the bois is detecting the the new chip as it posts am getting the beep.
any one know what could be the problem, i did have a look some are saying do a windows repair install from boot disc
others are saying flash the bios with the most up-to-date version,
what do you guys think
many thanks
