Thanks for the prompt reply. When I installed the x2 280 the PC didn't boot, didn't even do the POST, no beeps, nothing, just a black screen. When I reinstalled the previous CPU ( a Phenom II x2 550) everything worked just fine. Then I checked with Asrock's official CPU support list and the x2 280 wasn't listed. If the CPU is supported what could be the reason for the PC not booting? Any tweeks I could do in the BIOS? Thanks once again for the help. Rgds.
