What power supply would you recommend for a quad
Greetings - Even though the CPU is Quad core you could get by fine with a 350W PSU, unless of course you're going to have a killer juice sucking high end video card and/or are planning to overclock your CPU.
A good quality 450-500W would give you plenty of margin. More important to get quality vs rating numbers. Cheaper manufacturers tend to overstate the specs of their PSU's.
Enjoy your new CPU!

I have a new AMD Phenom X4 9750 quad core
It is possible that the processor may be defective but that is very rare. Take the processor off of the motherboard and reseat it. Make sure that you are using thermal paste(preferably aluminum) properly. The motherboard has a function in it that if the processor overheats it will shut the computer down to prevent damage. Also check to make sure that you RAM is fully seated and also that it is compatible with your motherboard. I have seen several instances where the RAM was not compatible with the motherboard and the computer will not boot.
So I bought a new power supply and a case, put
Hi,I'd say if your up and running and the system keeps running for more then 10 min's.No the cpu is most likely still good.The problem is that when the system was crashing it lost some files,getting all the file links back can be very tedious,I'd recommend formatting the hard drive and reinstalling all your app's.Save all you can before the format as you will lose everything thats on the hard drive.Hope this has been helpfull plesae rate!!

HI ! I bought
This processor need better cooling system as it is powerful it need more power so I suggest you to upgrade your Power Supply and buy more efficient processor fan cooler. Also you should check if processor is properly installed on motherboard and there should be some special thermal grease between processor and motherboard (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease) for better thermal conductivity
Were and how to plug in the
Most motherboards have the manufacturer name and model number printed directly on the board. Go to the manufacturer's website (Google the name, ASUS for example) then go to the support or downloads section and download the manual, usually in PDF format. Instructions will be there.
Also, if that fails, most motherboards print the power, reset and HDD led locations next to the jumper block itself (use a magnifying glass if you have to, the print is usually very small), trial and error can help.
I installed a AMD Phenom(tm)
There seems to be some sort of incompatibility issue between your motherboard and the Phenom, or maybe some option is not enabled in the motherboard bios that windows is only sensing half of the GHz, like if the processor is only running 2 cores instead of 4.
About the memory diference, that same problem is because the 64bit difference. Unless you have a 64bit XP you won't see the full 4GB. Windows XP is limited to 3 or 3.5GB of ram it can use, you are showing 2.75 maybe because some video board is integrated in your motherboard and it may be borrowing an extra 0.25GB from the 3GB that are usable under windows XP 32bit OS.
Please comment what motherboard you have, since the cpu alone can't be blamed nor configured.
Where do I start computer upgrade
Your machine is very short of power required for win 10, I would like to see at least 8 GB ram, and a faster processor, yours is at the bottom of tests. Perhaps you should look at a new machine with win 10 installed. You cannot upgrade xp to win 10. You will have to purchase a win 10 license, you missed the free upgrade period.
On my Back-ups ES 550 the "Building Wiring Fault"
This red light usually indicated the ground on the outlet the UPS is connected to is not properly connected to ground.
It could also mean the ground and neutral wires on the connected outlet are reversed.
