I remember when I stuck an AMD Athlon 64 in my machine replacing a Sempron, and it would boot up but I'd get random blue screens.

Does this mean you have to reinstall your operating system when fitting a new CPU? Like say, going from an E6300 to a Q6600 :D

I've just built a new system and took the boot disk out of my old computer to check some stuff on the new one. Worked fine and thats going from AMD ->Intel and ATI -> Nvidia so they couldn't be much more different!
