bios update doesn't install mobo drivers

you have to install them from the cd/dvd that came with the mobo

Spirea 25 Dec 2009, 14:08
well gfx drivers shouldn't really change anything, but formatting in general sounds kinda fine

very rarely can you change motherboard and processor and use the same windows install, it always messes it up somehow, you should be fine after a fresh install

Parent

dEzIrE 25 Dec 2009, 11:04

rofl sata cable has nothing to do with noise. You just dont have any rubber around your drive. And you need to make sure the screw from the drive are allways tight.

u need motherboard drivers. uninstall others or format
▼
zenix 25 Dec 2009, 11:35
motherboard drivers wont fix that.
Maybe this works. Remove your cpu from there and see what happens :D
Make sure you make restore point first, else just reinstalll your whole PC.

ran a few google searchs with people who sovled it:

QuotePROBLEM SOLVED!!! Finally!!! The problem was the number of processors that I've assigned Windows to boot in *msconfig>Advanced Options was only TWO! So I disabled that and reseted the computer then BAM! All cores working! Too bad I already returned the Phenom II x4 955 and settled with the x3 720. But that's fine by by me. I am so relieved!!!


QuoteMain problem was a bad stick of DRAM. Replaced memory and Win XP64 Pro installed happily. Linux installer still thinks it's an i1586 processor and won't install. Strange.

Lol you got given a AMD 6000+ in a Phenom II box. Owned on Christmas, you must be pretty upset.

you have to format if you change the number of cores, as easy as that
