Issues with an amd 6000+

><
I flashed the BIOS without any problems at all, put in the 6000, and still had the same issue...
however, it did prove to show another oddity. When I went to check the temperature in safe mode while running the 6000 (for some reason the field was blank), and I noticed that, while the power limit was 125W, it was using 129.20W... (entire page screen capped below). The 3800 currently is running at 54.26W with a 62W cap, so there seems to be a bit of an issue there.. The first page with the core info was running identical to the previous one's I've posted, however it's probably due to it running in safe mode.

only 3 things left you can try.
1 - try the 6000+ cpu in another board that is known to be working well with a 6000+ cpu in it to rule that out
2 - try a different power supply to rule it out
3 - RMA the motherboard to rule that out (if your RMA number has not expired yet)
