    You should check with the model of your system.
    I know you bought your 9262 from Rambo29
    You need to verify if your board supports the quad core cpu.
    I think the first revision of the board only supported dual cores up to the X6800
    The second revision gave support to the Q6600 and Q6700
    and the third revision gave support of the 45nm chips.

    It is also a good idea to upgrade the Bios before flashing the Bios to insure that the cpu is working correctly.

    Yes, Revision D supports the Q6600, Q6700 processors.
    I think the latest bios revision allows version D boards to use the 45nm chips, but I am not 100% sure on that.
