the psu may not supply enough power...or the mb might not be able to read the processer- make sure it is in the right way, but probably the psu is your problem.

My friend had the same problem. When we put in a new power supply it worked. If thats not it you may have to update the BIOS and drivers for the mobo. The CPU upgrade was quite a jump and i suggest you also upgrade your mobo

Thanks to both of you. I informed my friend, and he will be coming back on Sunday to visit his PC. I was amazed that his computer ran when we built it off the 250 W power supply. With your comments, it all came back to me. On my PC that I built, I use an Enermax 650 W power supply and have never had power related problems. We built his with the cheapest components available, and now I think it is biting us.

lol, if your computer tries to run off of 250 wats-believe it or not- it can decrease the life of your parts from the strain. dont turn it on untill you get the new psu in.
