I previously had the C2D E6550 SLA9X processor in a PC running XP Pro SP3 with 4 gb of RAM and the latest 1143 BIOS downloaded from the OEM here. I found a deal on a Q9550 quad core and thought way not give it a try.

After the new CPU it has problems with hanging up on restarts, but no a a normal power up. The big thing the case fans are running at 2800 rpms now where in the past they were very silent. I changed the CPU fan and temp and everything normal and quite. Any thoughts why? Thanks.
