And that will usually say you need to make a small modification to the BIOS if required.

It is most likely one of two things. One, it could be that your power supply is broken, or is not powerful enough to provide the power you need to use your CPU. The other thing that it could be causing this problem is that your CPU is dead, and you either fried it by accident with static electricity when installing it or it was broken from the start. You might be able to return it and try another one for free, but it depends on where you bought it from. Let me know if you need any more help.

Patrick Chase Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:40:42 +0100 http://www.compupair.net/tutorials/15-article-tutorials/77-install-a-cpu#comment-29 Most computers these days automatically detect your new CPU and the speed, so in my experience nothing needs to be done on boot up. Of course if you want to overclock it though then you will have to mess with the speed settings in the BIOS, but besides that Windows authentication should not be required becuase Windows only allows each operating system to be connected to one motherboard. So as long as you don't change the motherboard, no authentication should be required.

Especially if you've made other upgrades recently, Windows may demand authentication.
