Hi,
I tried to upgrade my system (motherboard ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0) to the best processor it supports (AMD FX-8370).
Now with this processor I get the info "new cpu detected press F1 ..." on every boot. Switching back to the old processor (AMD FX-6350) it asks once and then boots without. I've googled and seen that it could be the Battery (checked it, it shows a little more than 3V) or the BIOS (I have the latest version installed => 2501).
The second problem is that the new processor won't run with all RAM modules on the expected frequency (1600) it slows down to under 1333. I have two sets of two modules of 4 GB each (16GB all in all). If I run only one set it runs at expected speed (with both sets) but as soon as both sets are in the system it doesn't run the frequency.
I've tried for both problems to switch back and forth the processor and every time with the new CPU I have the trouble and with the old one everything works fine.
Anything I can try?
Broken CPU (I bought it second hand)?
thanks a lot,
Karl
