Make sure your running the latest version of your bios, go to your bios and look what version, and tell me what the make and model of your motherboard, and bios version and I'll Se if I can help

If the computer is shutting down you may be having power supply issues. I use a 550 watt power supply and its barely holding on. I can't even upgrade my graphics card because of the power you need.

Your motherboard may only support CPUs with a TDP(Thermal Design Power) at 95W, which is what your 630 is. The 965 is 125W only.

reset Bios Find the factory reset option. The location and wording of this option varies for every different BIOS. It will typically be called "Reset to Default", "Factory Default", "Setup Defaults", or something similar. It may be located in one of the tabs or it may be an option listed near the navigation buttons. *Select the option or press the button to load your factory defaults.*If your BIOS does not have this option, use one of the following methods following this section. from Don

doubt it i went with a 6300 series which is also a fx , you have to use a older processor to update bios first which i tried to do and still could not get it to crank up so i gave up and am using a older processor in the motherboard :(

Make sure your motherboard is compatible with this processor, otherwise it will cause damage to either the CPU or the motherboard. I'm no expert here but I think I can help you narrow down your search using this link http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/ If this doesn't work consider a deeper research on the processor you already have and see if it has more powerful versions within the series. I wish you best of luck and I hope this helps

I had a compaq that had the same problem and this cpu worked. But if you aren't sure search compatible chips that work with your pc

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Yes. It is an AM3 or AM3+. I have an Athlon II 260 in my other computer and I remember it being an AM3 type.

it's the second generation of AMD Phenom II processors so you may be talking about the third generation but I havent heard of it beforeyou must compare the features of the two processors against the prices and be sure if it's going to be compatible with your motherboard

Well, the updated support list does include this CPU. Sorry for the previous reply. You may need to update BIOS to F4.

The workstations motherboard socket type is 771 and the cpu you are asking about is also a 771 i see no reason why the cpu will not work

Yes the CPU works? But it's all on the question if you're motherboard can support am3+ and support 125watt CPU"s . I'm not sure what motherboard you have so I cannot answer much. Idk if this is a 125watt CPU but still

Yes it will. It works with am2/am2+/am3/am3+ I'm using a athlon II x2 260 CPU at 3.2ghz and works just fine.

Make sure the Motherboard supports Pcie 2.0 or 3.0 and that the cpu supports pcie 2.0. In my opinion it should work. But just verify what I mentioned above
