Windows 7 - CPU change and now can't boot |

CPU change and now can't boot I changed my CPU from an Athlon II x4 overclocked to 3.5GHz to a Phenom II x6 1090T and my computer will not past POST. When I turn on my PC, my motherboard displays a red light next, which is indicated DRAM_LED. I did remove the overclock and reset the voltages and RAM clock, but it seems the board keeps rebooting to display this red light.
I have listed my specs if anyone needs more information.
Is 650w enough for a 6950, 8GB's RAM and a Phenom 1090T? I hope so | My System Specs | | OS Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Motherboard Asus M4A89GTD Pro Memory Corsair XMS3 8GB DDr3 1600MHz Graphics Card XFX AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB (Shaders Unlocked) Sound Card Asus Xonar DX Monitor(s) Displays Acer V243HAObd Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Mionix Zibal 60 Mouse Mionix Naos 5000 PSU Cooler Master GX650 Case Silverstone Raven 3 RV03B-W Cooling Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom Hard Drives Seagate 320GB - WD Caviar Black 1TB @ SATA III 6Gb/s - WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA-III 6Gb/s Internet Speed 31+MB/s Down, 3+MB/s Up Other Info Roccat Kave Solid 5.1 Headphones, Blue Yeti microphone and Mionix Alioth 400 mousemat. |

Make sure your current bios supports the new cpu. The motherboard may be compatible but if the cpu was released some time after the mobo then a bios update maybe needed | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by badgers!!!

It won't be power related, as even an under powered psu will get past boot, as nothings under load.
Plus my intel rig has a 6950 2gb and 8gb ram on a 650w psu | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by badgers!!!

Hi,
A few simple things:
Power cable firmly clipped in to mobo? Is the CPU shown in the BIOS? Did you update to BIOS version Version 2301?

I have BIOS 1702 but I've seen someone run this CPU on the a BIOS from last year. The first 2 updates where for CPU compatibility, and if you check the list my CPU is compatible. | My System Specs | | OS Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Motherboard Asus M4A89GTD Pro Memory Corsair XMS3 8GB DDr3 1600MHz Graphics Card XFX AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB (Shaders Unlocked) Sound Card Asus Xonar DX Monitor(s) Displays Acer V243HAObd Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Mionix Zibal 60 Mouse Mionix Naos 5000 PSU Cooler Master GX650 Case Silverstone Raven 3 RV03B-W Cooling Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom Hard Drives Seagate 320GB - WD Caviar Black 1TB @ SATA III 6Gb/s - WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA-III 6Gb/s Internet Speed 31+MB/s Down, 3+MB/s Up Other Info Roccat Kave Solid 5.1 Headphones, Blue Yeti microphone and Mionix Alioth 400 mousemat. |

Yep - I saw from this list: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
By browsing down to your CPU, I followed the link to the BIOS version I mentioned.
Is it powered up at all? Fan turning? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Golden Mk.

Hi,
I had a bit of a quick hunt around, and found this. Does it look/sound familar? How does your thermal paste look? [Solved] First build gone wrong: NO POST - General-Homebuilt - Homebuilt-Systems
