OK, I just bought a new CPU for my computer, but before it got to my house in the mail the motherboard died some how and wouldn't post. Sock My origanal motherboard was a Socket A, And now I just bought a $200 CPU and I can't return it unless its DOA. So now I'm getting a new Socket A motherboard and Now I reolize, it a breand new motherboard AND brand new CPU. I have herd that if I try to install them that I will get TONS of conflicts. Is it true and since I still have a Socket A CPU, will that make the prosses any easyer? And if I do get TONS of problums, can someone walk me through the steps that they took? The motherboard does come will drivers for itself.
