    Hi, Just a couple of thoughts. Your BIOS may need to be checked to see if the upgrade recognizes Power Management. Also, you may need to update the Video card drivers. Check the video card manufactures's web site for new drivers. Might help to post what processor you had prior to the upgrade. HTH
