maybe the motherboard doesnt support the cpu? that'd be my guess

Yes, please resize your avator!

As far as your computer goes all you should have to do is: 1) resize your avator; 2) resize your avator; and 3) resize your avator
All should work normally from there out

PLEASE resize your avator!!!!

you should chose a MSI, GIGABYTE or ABIT for gaming i think correct me if im wrong

the avator really needs to be changed
p.s change the size of your avator its way to big

ABIT IMO, tho ePox seems to be great for AMD (ask JW)

AVATAR SHOULD BE NO LARGER THAN 6k and 80*80 pixels...i know you are new, but it does say
