BSOD after processor upgrade? (Phenom II X2 555 - Phenom II X6 1055)
I have an assembled computer that I have used since a few years ago without problems.
a few weeks ago, just because of curiosity, I replaced my Phenom II X2 555 with Phenom II X6 1055 (used).
Shortly after that I started experiencing BSOD. That happens especially when I play games, even games that I can play before without problems when I still use Phenom II X2 555.
I have taken several actions to correct this problem. I have upgraded my drivers. I tried Windows Resource Protection, but according to WRP there was no problem there. I am currently preparing to do clean install windows, but I myself am not sure whether this will solve the problem. I myself am not an expert in handling computers.
So, what should I do? Is this a problem with my AMD Phenom II X6 1055? or other? This is the specification of my current computer:
- AMD Phenom II X6 1055
- Gigabyte 880gm ud2h (rev 1.4) motherboard
- 8 GB RAM, Corsair (2x4)
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
- PSU Corsair TX 650
- ASUS EAH 5750 Formula
Please help, and thank you :)
