I recently bought an Asus M488T-I Deluxe Mobo (which has a Core Unlocker function) and a 95W AMD Phenom 555, with the hopes of unlocking it to a quad core processor. When I use the Core Unlocker function, and restart the computer, on the initial flash screen the mobo recognizes that the 4 cores are active. But, before it can POST, I get a screen that pops up saying that it does not recognize the processor. I'm thinking that when I unlock the processor, it ups the wattage to 125W when the mobo can only put out 95W? It seems odd to me that this motherboard can potentially unlock processors, but wont handle it when it does..
Any ideas?
