Hi,
It's a game of questions and answers on any forum. Once you post, you give up control of the thread and that's how it works on any forum.
Return the new processor. Alternatively, take your PC to a competent PC repair shop when post errors can be properly diagnosed.

Installing new CPU (Update)

To those of you that were helping me try to repair an apparent botched installation of a new XP 2400+ porcessor on the system below. I purchased 2 new PSU (450w) for 2 different boxes that run XP. I tried the new processor in both boxes, and in both circumstances got nothing, but it at least powered up (not boot-up). In the machine listed below there was no signal being transferred to monitor, but on the other machine (with old processor) I was getting a signal, but have hard drive issues now (bad os). I guess what I am tryign to say is this almost seems as if I have purchased a bad CPU. Any thoughts????
Thanks again,
John

Why opening a new thread instead of completing the previous one?

Installing new CPU

Hi,
I recently bought a new cpu (Pentium 4 2.40A 533FSB 1-MB L2 Cache) and I am trying to swap out my old cpu (Pentium 4 2.26 533 FSB 512-KB L2 Cache). The motherboard I am using is the MSI 845E Max-6566E. When I booted up the first time with my new processor nothing happened and the four LEDs were all red. I have tested this processor in a newer MSI motherboard and it worked fine. I've updated my chipset drivers and the bios but still have problems. I'm wondering if they're is either something I must change in the bios or there is a compatibility issue with the processor. I've been unable to find much about the different Pentiums and how to tell a Prescott from a Northwood Pentium based on the MSI compatibility chart. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You

you cannot install precscot cpu on a 845E Max.............

You probably have to change the processor to max 3.06/533/512 model with that board or change to another motherboard that support P4/800/512 Northwood cpu and Prescott. I would personally choosen Northwood.

Please Help: Installed new CPU (i7) now system won't boot.

I'm hoping someone can help.
I have an MSI H55M-P31 (MS-7636) motherboard, and I updated the BIOS to 1.A0.
But when I installed the new CPU, I get 3 Long beeps, and then my computer won't boot.
I have 4Gigs of Memory
Current CPU: (working 100%)
3.07 gigahertz Intel Core i3 540
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
4096 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Hyper-threaded (4 total)
500watt PSU
Please Help, I don't know what to do now. (did check CPU compatibility on website - i7870)

What PSU is that and what are the ratings of that PSU ? See the label on the side.
Are you trying to use the onboard graphics?
That CPU does not have integrated graphics. http://ark.intel.com/products/41315

K8N Master C&Q fix for new CPU's when it doesn't work!

Hi dude's,
There are some older K8N Master boards that do not do C&Q properly with new CPU's.
Those boards need a rework.
If your board turns off when selecting Laptop or Minimal power option in Windows energy settings, then you have this problem.
You either RMA the board or when you know how to solder you can do it yourself.
If you solder nicely you won't lose warranty.
(Don't do this if you are not a sodering expert!!!!! then just RMA)
What you need to do is remove Q123 and Q124.
I will attach pictures so you know where they are.
If you don't care about Cool&Quiet, then don't bother.
BIOS 1.21 or later is required before you attempt this!

hello all, I spoke with MSI tech support in the U.S. regarding getting an RMA for my board with this problem and they claim no knowledge of this problem at all. say they never heard of any issue with this board and this problem. they say they will give me an RMA and see if they can "recreate the problem". but this seems strange to me given the talk of people here and getting this resolved by MSI.
any idea why they say they never heard of this? any info I can give them on this to show MSI (in Taiwan) of having known of this issue?
thanks,
mark

Installed new software, after restart black screen with Darwin/BSD promt

Hi
I have been struggling with thisissue. I installed some new software, a webcam driver called ilook 1321. I restarted my computer but forgot to take the disc out!
Now when I start my ibook G4 i get the black screen with Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console) and login. It accepts my usual login and password, then tells me my last login details and leaves me with localhost: Clarekristensen$.
I have done the disk utility repair, no problems, I also did the fcsk commands, but still goes back to the Darwin command.
I tried to do the Repair disk permissions but this failed with the message "no valid packages". On disc check I saw I had 25.6 gb of space left.
I am now at a complete loss what to do next. I have not backed up for a while so really don't want to re-install Mac OS X and wipe my disk.
Hopefully yours
Clarek BsD

Hi Clarek BsD, and a warm welcome to the forums again!
On that error...
Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4: Disk Utility shows a "No Valid Packages" alert...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25704-no
Here's the steps I'd take...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
If it can't repair for any reason, stop here and report back.
Appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Tried installing new Flash Player but it doesn't work.

I went to view a video online and it said i needed an new version of Flash player so i clicked on the link and i downloaded the newest version. I unistalled all of my old Adobe versions first. It said installation complete but now EVERYTHING that used Flash before (Pandora, You Tube, Hulu, etc) doesn't work. I keep trying to uninstall and re-install but nothing changes. My adobe reader works, but not Adobe Flash. HELP!!

Hi, You didn't say what operating system or browser(s) you are using. If you are using IE, go to your manage add ons
and look for Shockwave Flash Object..and see if Flash10e.ocx is listed with it and it is Enabled. If you use FF, find the plug-in SWF and it is 10.0.45.2 and enabled.
You can also check your Flash files to see if all of the old FP was removed and the new was installed.
Thanks,

Computer won't load Windows after installing new CPU fan

My wife's computer's CPU fan quit working so she bought a new one and installed it just now. She turned the compuer on and it says "Windows failed to Start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause."If Windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly, start up repair can help diagnose and repair the problem. If power was interrupted during start up, close Windows normally." The choses are "Launch repair" or "Start Windows normally." When she chooses either of those, the computer shuts down. If she tries to perform a system recovery, the computer shuts down. She tried loading BIOS defaults (as was suggested on other websites), it had no affect.

Hello anthonydobmann,
You’re having a problem with the computer not booting after replacing the cooling fan.
First I’d make sure that the cable did not come disconnected from the hard drive.
Boot the computer into diagnostics by tapping F2 at startup and run the hard disk test.
If diagnostics passes try to boot the computer into safe mode by tapping F8 at startup.
If you’re able to load into windows you might have to run the recovery.
Here are some links to run a recovery.

Let me know how everything goes.

Problem when installing new cpu physics VM 3.0.3

Hello everyone, we have a server VM 3.0.3 in a Fujitsu RX300 S7, have

Anyone know because this happens?
Thanks a lot.

The health of the OVM Server is OK?

Boot failure after installing new cpu, old one wont work either!

Hi
Got a KT4V-l which was running an Athlon XP 2100+ happily
bought a Sempron 3000+ which i installed, but on power up the board just gave a 2 tone alarm and powered off the system. so put the Athlon XP back in, booted ok, looked on the MSI site and found the correct bios update.
Installed the bios update, rebooted ok, went into the bios, all seemed fine. Powered off the machine, out the sempron in, but system gave the 2 tone alarm and powered off. took out the sempron and put the Athlon XP back in, but the same happened.
now i can't get either cpu to work, and the machine powers off after 2 seconds of being on, with this 2 tone alarm just bleeping until you remove the power.
any ideas on whats happened!?
thanks
Chris

thanks for that suggestion , but it's something to do with the cpu(s), if theres no cpu at all the machine powers on ok, obviously you dont get anything, but it powers on without any beeps or tones
but with either cpu in, it powers on, and about 1-2 seconds it powers off, but theres this 2 tone alarm going on which continues until you unplug it, everything else fans etc.. are off at this point , but just this low, then high tone, not a beep as such which just repeats, low/high pause, low/high etc..
thanks

I installed new Lightroom CC and it doesn't launch

After installing Lightroom CC from the Creative Cloud App on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.10.3, I try launching LR CC and nothing happens. A brief flash on the screen, no opening splash screen, no choose the Catalog dialog box, nothing.

Nope a brief flash of the splash screen then nothing. Me thinks they didn't get around to due diligence on the QC/QA stuff on this release and/or the CC servers are overloaded.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it was a bad download.
Probably patience is in order, which I know in the digital age is a precious commodity.

HT2305 how to install new software

how do i install new software

Just to expand on Alex's post, connect the iPod to iTunes. Look on the Device/Summary pane (tab) and click on Check for Updates. If there is an update available, you will be given the option to download and install it.

I can't open a new window in Firefox 4 on my mac. Was working great. I installed new mac firmware and restarted, probably without closing Firefox properly. Now window won't open.

Hi:
As noted above, Firefox won't open a new window. I restarted machine without closing Firefox. Now, I get the Firefox menu bar but it won't open a window. I'm using mac, with OS X 10.6

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically.<br />
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel:<br />
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

I bought a new macbook pro but it doesn't want install os x mountain lion

I bought a new Macbook Pro but it doesn't want to install os x mountain lion.
I started the pc, filled in my language, chose "install os x mountain lion", it took a while, the pc restarted and asked the same things.
What am I doing wrong? I can not go to my desktop.
When the pc is restarted os x lion mountain is installed but i can't go to my desktop.

Either that or they failed to install an OS on it before shipping.
For a brand new Mac, I'd return it.
Here is the article on Recovery, which is what you are seeing: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
The hard drive should have a hidden partition which holds the standard Recovery HD. That is what you use to repair and reinstall. If that fails, or you have to replace the hard drive, you can use Internet Recovery which boots into Apple's servers.
You could try Using Disk Utility to see if you can Repair the disk while booted into Recovery, but it just all sounds like a future of bad things if it starts out this way.

Installed new CPU. On restart it doesn't post.
