QUAD Q9650 on GA-P31-DSL Mboard

[Gerard Bedell]

Hi I am trying to install an INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9650
on my GA-P31-DSL Motherboard without sucess. (F10A Bios)

At the moment any OS freezes on Boot Win or Linux

Have run many system checks including TUB CD and Eurosoft PC Check.
RESULT - ALL HARDWATE CHECKS PASS EXCEPT__
**cpu cache coherency**

FULL RESULT:

PC-CHECK EUROSOFT
MP SYMMETRY CHECK
(ALL MP SYM CHECKS PASS XCPT...

CACHE COHERENCY
PROCESSOR 1-4

(1) BOOT CPU INTEL CORE - N/A OR PASS
(2) APP CPU INTEL CORE - (SYSYEM FREEZE) then a manual boot is required
(3) APP CPU INTEL CORE - (SYSYEM FREEZE) then a manual boot is required
(4) APP CPU INTEL CORE - PASS


To be quite honest i am now wandering out of my comfort zone with things such as cache coherency.

My RAM specs are: 2off
Samsung
DDR2 1024mb PC2-4300(266Mhz)

Processor specs are:
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9650
3GHz 12MB-L2Cache FSB 1333MHz

OLD processor specs are:
INTEL Pentium D925
3ghz 2mb-L2Cache FSB 800mhz


Hows about them apples!?

As always a push in the right direction is always appreciated... :~)
