I bought a FX8150 to replace a Phenom II 1090T in my AMD server rig. Well I put in the FX8150 and without changing anything else proceeded to boot into windows. When I logged in it froze right when my normal programs would start-up.

After this happening a few times I then proceeded to safe mode. boots fine, I try uninstalling some start-up programs thinking that was the issue as well as drivers no luck.

Well with no idea what's causing it I decided to do a fresh installof windows 7. Once windows 7 was installed, it booted up normal. Went about installing drivers and then updates, restarted to let it finish installing updates, but once I restarted Windows , the same issues appeared. It started freezing upon windows log-in and start up.

I then went through uninstalling windows updates in safe mode with no luck, in the end had to do a system restore. After that it worked fine again... So whats the problem you ask?

Well once I shut down the computer or I restart it the issue appears again. First it freezes on windows log in/welcome, so I restart then a Black screen, restart a third time and it works and boots into windows fine.

No idea what's causing it, I'm thinking its a hardware issue, maybe the CPU? didn't have the problem with the 1090T could it be the CPU?
 
Have you checked your bios to make sure it can use that bulldozer? May need an update.
 
Did you install any Windows software that controls or alters the throttling of the cpu.... Be it official amd utility, gigabyte utility or otherwise?
