    Boot into safe mode first and see if that helps. Once it boot into safe mode, then try to reboot and boot into regular Windows. Let us know how it goes. Hope this helps. God Bless :)

    When I had my M-6864FX I too upgraded my CPU to an Intel Extreme X7900 and it worked fine with the 64-bit Vista it came with. Try to go in your BIOS and put it back to DEFAULT and save your settings and try again. Let us know how it goes. God Bless :)
