    Hello,
    I recently upgraded my processor, I had a AMD Athlon 64 3800
    I bought a new processor FX-62 Dual Core.
    My motherboard is a MSI K9N Platinum and according to MSI the site and my manual it supports this processor, heck even Tiger sells them in a bundle.
    The problem is that if I install this processor my computer doesn't boot up.
    It turns on but that is it, all the fans are on but the screen never initializes.
    it doesn't even post beep. I thought it might be memory so I tried a stick of 800MHZ OCZ DDR2 Ram and tried again with same result. I reset the Bios since this has worked in the past but that didn't, help.
    I installed my old processor and memory back and it boots up without complaint. Has anyone run into this? any suggestions?

    Try updating the motherboard BIOS, could be that flashing is all thats needed to support it.

    Agreed. Motherboards often need a firmware flash to support the latest CPU revisions.
