Win 7 boot up freezes
Hi, I am new to the forum. I have been upgrading a pc I purchased a few months back....not sure why cos I don't use it. Anyway the pc has an AMD A4 processor, gigabyte FM2+ mobo, and 4GB of DDR 3 ram and a 256GB SSD. It has nothing on it as it was a clean machine I bought....I booted it up and all was ok. Over the last few weeks I: upgraded to 12GB ram so added an 8GB to the 4...OK no problems.
Added a TP Link USB wifi adaptor...again no problems. Then added wireless keyboard & mouse...no problem. Finally I changed from an A4 to an A10 processor and it installed ok with lots of green ticks on the screen but also 2 messages relating to graphics which said restart is required. When I restarted the pc it hung after the windows logo. Tried system repair, restore etc but no joy still hanging on boot. Removed the A10 and replaced the A4 and all seems ok again. Is there a trick to upgrading the processor?
