    I have just put a new motherboard anp cpu in my pc and the system is not recognising what type of cpu it just says unknown cpu. Is this Bios related and will affect my pcs performance?

    Does your new motherboard and cpu bootup when you turn on your system or does it just give you an error message?
    You might want to check and see if there's a bios update for your motherboard and see it that helps.

    It all works ok, just not recognising the type of cpu.

    That is strange why not run "Everest" and open the "Motherboard" item then either "CPU" or "CPUID" the latter will give a more detailed report on the CPU. Everest is available at this link http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181

    What is the motherboard make and model?
    What is the CPU type What serial numbers etc are printed on it?
    Is it AMD or Intel?
    Did you buy these aas a bundled pair and what info did the supplier give?

    Sorry danjotom, but have you run "Everest" CPUID yet, because if you had this is something like what you should have seen:

    Which will really help us to solve this problem your having.

    Did you ever check on a BIOS update>

    That has fixed this exact problem for me in the past.
