I bought a CPU with AM3 socket. I got DDR3

When I plug it in on my mobo I got a message that the mobo can only support 75 watt CPU

The CPU has 150 watt TDP

I can access windows once in a while. But now I no longer can. I have no idea how to know the CPU type. I know it's AM3 slot

I need mobo that

support 150 watt CPU uses DDR3 memory have AM3 slot Price around $100

What would work?

Update: I found my CPU

AMD Phenom II x6 1055t

It seems that TDP is above 95 watt and my previous mobo can't handle it

I have an AMD Phenom II x6 1055t CPU (AM3 socket), and DDR3 RAM. My motherboard can only support CPUs up to 75 watt TDP, and my CPU is 150W.

Please recommend me a motherboard that:

• Supports a 150W TDP CPU
• Uses an AM3 socket
• Has DDR3 RAM slots
• Costs around $100
