Freezing occurs shortly after startup no bsod just frozen
Hello. I recently installed a new GPU, and some more ram, going from 6(2gbx2+1gbx2) to 12(2gbx2+4gbx2) gb of RAM. I installed an am3 processor into my am2 socket ( I was under impression that because I had am2+ processor I had am2+ socket which is compatible with am3, but i have am2 socket. So after It didn't work, I put my old processor back in. My problem occurs a few minutes after startup, where my computer simply freezes in entirety, without any bsod. I am not sure what is wrong, I installed drivers for my gpu in safe mode, and I believe the amount of thermal paste I applied to processor was light. Let me know what possible solutions or ideas any of you may have. Thank you for reading this and I am happy you are happy to help.
