Ok here goes, I just recieved my Intel core 2 E8400. Installed it and was suprised to see I was stuck at splash screen. PC wont post past that and I cant get into my BIOS. I have since reinstalled my old cpu and am Using it now. I have updated my BIOS and all should be well but no go. I even took it up to a local place and the guy said it sounded like BIOS so he then tried to install the CPU but no luck, same problem as befor.
This is my system information as its working now.
