PC does not recognize new CPU
hi guys. i've been dealing with this for over a couple of months and now it's starting to get on my nerves. recently i got a new graphics card and a new processor for gaming since that's pretty much the only thing i use my computer for. now that i have all the parts i want, my computer won't recognize my new cpu. and in turn, i'm pretty sure that means it isn't giving my computer all of the power that it should be giving it, right? i've just finally got all the parts i want, and it isn't running the way i want it to. i've tried nearly everything i can and i told myself i would never turn to forums until i lost all hope. well i've lost all hope. i'm not entirely great with computers so i figured y'all would know how to help. i'm not sure how bad my system is either, so if y'all had any extra advice that would help my pc run better, i would love every single one of you.
here are the specs that i think you need to know:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Mobo: BIOSTAR Group N61PB-M2S (to my knowledge, this is old.)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
Memory: DDR2 2048MB
again, i'm not too computer savvy so if you need more information or if you can help me any further than just this problem, i would GREATLY appreciate it, thanks guys.
