I just upgrade my CPU from a Intel Celeron D, to a Intel Pentium D Dual core (SmithField). Everything works great. When i go into the BIOS it list the new processor and all that good stuff, but on the device manager it list UNKNOWN DEVICE under CPU, and when i try to upgrade the BIOS for the mother board (Intel D945GCL) its says that its not an intel product. Everytime i start Windows (Vista) is says new hardware detected, but cant find the driver. Should i reset the BIOS? Reinstall Windows? I dont know what to do. The MoBo is compatible with the Processor. Everything else (CPU-Z, Everest, Ect.) sees thats its the right processor. ANY HELP!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hmm.. You're sure you are using the correct bios revision? Like this:

This version actually states that is upgrades processor support. If this doesnt work then maybe you could try a repair installation of windows then try again??

Which Pentium D processor are you using?
