Computer specs:
Jetway HA07 (AMD 790 GX)
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black edition~3Ghz
2Gb pattriot 800 Mhz DDRII ram
600W Cooler Master PSU
ATI rad 4850 GPU


1)I ve upgraded my old CPU 6000+ to new AMD pII 940 it worked on board but was not recognised.
2)I updated the BIOS to latest version [A05]
3)CPu name is recognised +new features in BIOS and my computer would hang,freeze or poweroff when ever now i try to play game ,install a program,or do anything which requires significant computing.
4)Checked each and every component RAM ,PSU,CPu everything fine..
5)My older AMD 6000+ is working on this board no problems at all
6)tried my new phenom II 940 CPu on a differnt motherboard also no problems.
7)But when i Couple my AMD phenom II X4 940 with my jetway HA07 then the problem of freezing /poweroff occurs.
8)So clearly not 100% my retailer also said it is a BIOS issue because
-->Working fine with the oldest bIOS which came with the BOARD (now it is not found on their website)
I ve reported this to JETWAY people they said it is (BIOS) fine according to them ,as this model is not much popular i think i m the only one whos been complaining to them so i think they aint either paid much attention.

So im confuse what to do either return the motherboard or the JETWAY launch a HOTFIX to the BIOS.It is happening particularly for this CPU(AMD PII X4 940) i ve chked other cpus working fine.

Some thoughts ,suggestions plz

Sounds like the board is not capable of providing enough power to the CPU. The easiest way to find out what the real problem is: use a decent power supply of at least 750W from a reputable brand (not too sure about Cooler master these days).
