Does your motherboard officially support the 3.2Ghz chip?

the bios updated fixed my chip problem, now i have a second problem, when i start up my pc now it says boot disk failure insert system disk, i put the windows vista disk in and it boots just fine, Why do i have to leave that disk in, do something get wacked when i changed out my chip?

check in the bios to see if your hard drive is seen & is the 1st boot drive not behind the rom drive.

Just a thought, have you been into the BIOS to check that your boot devices are in the right order? The hard disk with windows on it should be first in that list. Changing a CPU could have reset the settings to something else.
