Issues after upgrading CPU.

[JuanjoPM]

Hello, everyone:

 

In first place, I'm sorry if I'm posting this somewhere I shouldn't, I'm new. I bought a couple days ago a Xeon x3450 CPU, because I wanted to get better performance (I used to have a Core i5-660). The case is I installed It yesterday with the same stock cooling system that the i5 came with, and seemed to work just fine. But I noticed that It got way too hot (95°C), so I decided to install a tower cooling heatsink today. When I tried to turn on the computer, It didn't do anything at all, black screen. I pushed reset switch, and It worked, and showed BIOS screen. I saw the Manjaro GRUB and sighted, thinking It was working again. It showed the Windows logo trying to boot, and suddenly the screen got black. I noticed the CPU fan was way too slow, and the heatsink itself was boiling hot, so I turned It off as I could. I managed to get into BIOS, and It said the CPU was at -20°C (-68°F). So I'm here sitting thinking what may be happening while typing this.

 

Has anyone experienced this, or has any idea of what's up with It?

Thank you so much in advance, and have a nice day/night.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I did. But I used another GPU and now It shows the correct temp. So I guess the GTX has something to do...
