So My computer worked fine for a long time, but I needed to get a new motherboard to upgrade my processor which was an am3+ socket type and my motherboard only accepted am3 socket types, So I got the motherboard, hooked everything up right, and put my new processor but after that it will boot up fine, and recognize the changes and load windows but right before it hits the password screen my computer will blue screen for a fraction of a second and reboot over and over and over, I don't know what is causing this, I was thinking it was a software issue since I change the motherboard but it shouldnt cause a blue screen or stop me from logging in. To counter this problem I bought a new copy of windows 7 and start from scratch again but before I do that I want to get some second opinions on what to do. I also need to get a new case because the current one is to small to fit the heat sink I purchased for the CPU which will have a huge amount of heat since it's pulling give or take 220W. Any Suggestions or questions? And as always thanks for the help, unless it's Duck, any advise from duck will make my computer explode Awards

I would look into the following things: 1) Check your clock settings for safe values. Try dialing back the clock to see if it becomes more stable. AMD clocking structure can be very confusing at times and it's easy to overlook one of the settings. Something could be way higher than it should be and that will cause a lot of instability. 2) Disable any "turbo" or "boost" modes for the processor. Those are efficiency / power saving features that you can worry about later. They have been known to create instabilities when getting everything config'd correctly. 3) Run Memtest86 live boot. If you can "POST" the mobo then run a live boot of memtest and make sure the memory is stable.

I can not stress this enough. Its all about voltage regulation through the mobo and processor its self and drivers too. Just to be safe take out and re mount the RAM/aka memory sticks. Then proceed to set your boot priorty to all cd/dvd in bios settings. Then do fresh install. I bet it will be fine after this. It's too bad you could not use the old copy you already had but oh well. As long as you bought a new one then why not. Feel free to keep pestering until we can figure out whats up. Edited May 4, 2015 by SupaDupa

That's good but your CPU doesn't push 220W probably around 85 that's why I'm trying to get some opinions because I have no clue if it will keep good enough temps Awards

AMD sells a version of the CPU that comes with a water cooler, part number FD9370FHHKWOX. Like you, I did not purchase their water cooler. I've tried the Corsair H80, it cooled just slightly better than what you can get with air. The radiator just isn't big enough, however, you can add a second fan on the outside of your case to increase the air-flow. My son system has this configuration, which greatly improves the efficiency of the H80. For me, it still wasn't good enough. I ended up with the Corsair H100i. This thing keeps my CPU very cool. I'm not overclocked. Good luck!

They are less prone to leaking.

Unless there was a way to seal off the electrical components in case of disaster I would feel like I was taking an unacceptable risk. I guess it would be the same as the standard methods if the chance of leakage would be applied to the chance of fire. Awards
