MSI P965 Platinum with E8400

edited January 2009 in Hardware
Hi people,

Well problems again so decided to visit the good old icrontic.

I decided to upgrade my system. I have bought the intel E8400 as it stated in msi website that my mobo supports it. i have installed it but here the strange thing that happens. when i have my old corsair ram on it it doesnt boot at all. when i put the newly bought ocz 2x2gb 800mhz ram it boots but freezes at boot screen. When i check the D-bracket it stucks where it supposed to read primary and external memory. needless to say when i put my old cpu it works fine.

I also upgraded the psu to a thermaltake toughtpower 750w sli certified.

i tried reseting the bios and i have also checked that i have the latest version of the bios.
