AMD Phenom x6 1045t

[gtoman88]

Hey all. I thought my phenom x4 945 BE Denab was toast (which it isn't long story....) I am running a Asus m4a79t deluxe motherboard. Since I thought my old cpu was bad and a attempt to maybe upgrade a little while still using my old motherboard I purchased the phenom x6 1045t. The problem I have is it won't boot period. Do I need to flash bios while my phenom 945 is installed in the mb,then install the 1045t and see if it will work then?

That's most likely what you need to do. According to here:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A79T_Deluxe/#support_CPU

You need at least BIOS 3303 to support the 1045T. I'm guessing your current BIOS version is less than this version.

Yes install latest BIOS. gl

^that man is correct. This definitely seems like a bios thing to me.
