So I just put an Athlon 64 3400+ into an old computer I had butchered and I'm having a really weird problem with it. When I go to install the OS it gets to the windows screen and is ok for like 10 seconds and then either goes to a BSOD with the message "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" or the screen gets like 50 little black lines that shoot across and the system restarts. I was wondering if maybe I put too much thermal paste on the CPU and its keeping it from getting cooled and causing the system to shut down. In BIOS I checked my temps and they are at 28-29 C. Is that too high still for just being in BIOS? My dual core system im on right now has those temps right now while I'm typing so I'm thinking that may be the problem.
Any thoughts?
