SOURCE: which motherboard should i use with AMD Phenom? X4
It really depends on how much money you wish to spend and with that comes the features you can enjoy. On the lower end you will end up with mATX motherboards with on board video and not much expansion/slots, in the middle of the pack $80-$110 more slots are available and possibly SLi/Crossfire capabilities. The higher end boards allow you to have the features of the other classes, plus more memory, slots, fancy heat distribution equipment, and exotic chipsets. I prefer Gigabyte, Asus for the higher end and medium to low I tend to look at MSI, Biostar, DFI, Abit.
I hope this helps.

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

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.
