This cpu came with the PC and works perfectly. I tried to upgrade to a Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz Q6600 CPU. When the PC now boots, it either freezes on a black screen with a blinking cursor or it freezes on the Windows XP boot screen and cannot boot into SafeMode. I have checked the ASRock website. The cpu is compatable with the board. I have also installed all the latest chipset drivers, updated the BIOS and reset the BIOS and loaded defaults in BIOS. The BIOS shows the quad cpu and the updated bios version. The cpu is not overheating, staying around 37 degrees. I ran the Intel<br \/>\ndiagnosis tool on the quad cpu and it passes. I install the older core 2 duo and things working fine again. Any ideas? I&#8217;m going crazy here!<\/p>\n<p>This cpu is listed as being compatible with this board. Just wondering why I cannot get it to work properly.
