Whew
Well, I was replacing my CPU last night, and I turned on my computer on, only to find that I blue screened every five minutes. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Ended up being a virus, I couldn't recover to a partition, so I had to wipe the hard drive using Boot N' Nuke. Not fun, now I have to reinstall everything, need to start keeping backups.

Re: Whew
Dammit, now I'm blue screening. Should I try updating my BIOS? It's like two years old. The processor also came out of a gateway I had, and Intel core 2 quad q8200. The mobo on it fried, but if the CPU was fried, it wouldn't have started in the first place, right? The previous processor was a core 2 duo. Do I need to update my BIOS for the new processor?

Yes, the BIOS may not recognize the quad core CPU. What kind of motherboard do you have?
