New to the forum but not new to Gigabyte at all.
I have a GA-M57SLI-S4 (rev. 2.0) with BIOS FHk and it runs fine with my old 6000+ DC installed. But I just got my new CPU the Phenom II X4 945 Quad and tried to install that and well all I get is a black screen at boot. Per the CPU support list on Gigabytes web site I should be able to run the 945 95W CPU.
Steps I have taken
1. Clear CMOS
2. Set the BIOS to default
3. Verified that it’s the 95 watt CPU via the box and cross checked it with AMD website.

Phenom II X4 945 is the 95w C2 version. HDX945WFGIBOX
