    Hi,

    Not neccessarily - depends on exactly what processor it is. For example, my i7-860 installs on a motherboard with LGA1156. In other words, I cannot install it on a motherboard with LGA 1155.

    Here is more about LGA : note the supported processors.

    A new mobo will set you back around £100 so its not a great outlay for a total new platform.

    Unless you go socket lga 2011! As that's very expensive as it only came out last week lol.

Here's a strange problem. I've previously run various win 7 x64 builds on my system, which had an intel e6600 core 2 duo, with no problems. I recently swapped out the e6600 for a q9400 and i suddenly cannot install any build of win7 x64. I get the following bluescreen error immediately upon...
