I just got finished reassembling my computer after doing an overhaul and it is doing some weird stuff. I thought it might be the fact that I have 8GB of memory installed and I am still running 32bit Vista Ultimate (I am about to install Windows 7 64bit Ultimate)

The computer would hang after I clicked restart. The computer would go to the shutdown screen and then it would go blank, but the computer would not reboot. The odd thing is that it would shutdown just fine, but it would not restart. I just installed an update that it wanted to do at shutdown and it seems to be restarting now. However, now it is giving me a CPU Freq. of 1.33Ghz and FSB of 1333. I have not changed any CPU settings in the BIOS and Intel speed step is disabled. It should be at 2.66Ghz for a Q9450, which is what it was when it would not restart on its own.

Any ideas?????

Overhaul of Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard x48
1) Installed Intel X-25M 160GB G2 Drive (Secondary Drive Right Now & Empty)
2) Installed 4GB of RAM (Brings Total to 8GB Installed)
3) Installed Heatsink Backplate for OCZ Vendetta 2
4) Unmounted and Remounted Processor
5) Installed new PSU Corsair HX750 Professional Series
 
What do you mean by "Overhaul of Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard x48"? What did you do to or with the motherboard?
 
Its in the list....

I added memory, plugged in an SSD, and added a backplate to the processor heatsink.
