I recently decided to upgrade my CPU in my laptop. I went from an AMD A4-3305M dual core, to an AMD A8-3520M Quad core.
I have done multiple cpu swaps in laptops before, I did my research and it seemed it would work with the latest bios. So I updated the bios took it apart and did the swap.
I attempted to boot and it would freeze at the windows splash screen. I had a copy of windows 8 I was going to try anyways, so I have tried to install it as well but still no luck.
Also I couldn't get it to boot in safe mode either. The BIOS does recognize the new cpu, and does not show temperatures being high at all.
Any help would be great.
