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.

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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.
    Vista Recovery
    Windows 7 recovery
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • 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

  • Is it possible to install a new cpu for a Satellite C50D-A?

    [Computer Specs|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/c50/pscfwa-03j00k/specifications]
    I am looking to see if anyone can help me find out if it's possible to change the cpu in my laptop, and what the limitations there might be for the new cpu, I would really appreciate any help. Also if you know a place that can help me with my situation it would really help, preferably in Sydney.

    I know it sounds stupid now but why do you want to do this?
    As you probably know CPU upgrade is not supported by Toshiba and hardware upgrade is very limited on mobile machines.
    Only supported hardware upgrade is RAM and HDD upgrade. These steps can be done without some risk and you can do this on your own.

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

    any ideas? thanks!
    The MacBook Pro 2,2 is a 15" Core 2 Duo from Octomer 2006-June 2007
    It only has a mere 1.5 Gbps SATA 1 connection which won't realize the performance of the SSD which is better suited to a SATA 3 connection at 6Gbps. So basically you put a Ferrari engine into a Yugo.
    My advice is to return the SSD and get a 7,200 RPM hard drive, is backwards compatible with your older SATA 1 connections and also provide more storage space and speed you require for that machine which has a maximum RAM limit of 3GB (4GB has to be installed, 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM modules in two slots, see OtherWorld Computing or Crucial.com for Mac verified memory)
    What occurs with that model is there is a lot of memory swapping to the drive due to the 32 bit processor and it's 3GB RAM limit, so your thinking a SSD would speed things up is correct, however your SATA 1 connection is the bottleneck.
    So your resigned to using a 7,200 RPM hard drive which will give the same performance as the SSD in your case due to the slower SATA 1, it's the best you can do.
    Also, older OS X operating systems 10.6 and earlier have trouble installing on with SSD's a it's a new storage device, there is supposedly some more hoops to go through to enable TRIM etc. as the installer doesn't know what it's looking at when it see's a SSD, but it does with a hard drive.
    For that machine, even though OS X 10.8 can be eventually installed on it, it's not advised due to it's vintage age and slower CPU and graphics capability. 10.7 and 10.8 are bloated for newer mor powerful machines, thus it's only going to be a wasted effort and costly for a machine about to die shortly.
    For the best OS on that machine (with current security updates) would be OS X Snow Leopard, which you can get the $20 or so OS X 10.6. white retail disk still from Apple online store.
    Read:
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
    Why is my computer slow?
    IMMO a 7,200 hard drive and 10.6 updated to 10.6.8 is the best, most cost effective solution as something else is going to croak on the machine in the new few years.
    10.8 will let you run iCloud etc., however the machine will be so slow and you will have to buy all new versions of software for a machine that's only going to expire shortly.
    Run 10.6.8 on that machine for the next few years until the wheels fall off, Apple has got your back with security updates still until it drops to like below 10% OS X market share.
    If you require to run iCloud etc., then buy a new machine for that, don't waste your effort going to 10.8 on the older machine, use it for backup purposes.

    RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
    With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
    That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Checking & installing new RAM

    Hi,
    I have a Pavilion dv7 product number VG420AV notebook with 4 GB DDR3 system memory (2 DIMM).
    I am wanting to upgrade the memory to 8 GB.
    Hp told me to buy a 4GB, 1600Mhz, PC3-12800 memory module (SHARED).
    I am not sure if I need one stick or two.
    How do I check to see if I have an avilable slot to install new RAM ,& how do I install new RAM in my notebook? 
    Thanks fo the help.

    That is a dv7t-3100 model. 2 ways to find out about the RAM. 1. Download and install CPU-Z and look at the memory tab; or, 2. Just pull the back cover off and look. 
    Here is the Service Manual:
    Manual
    Page 4-17
    And you do say you have 2 DIMM(s) which is all the slots available so to upgrade you are going to have to remove and replace existing memory.

  • Need New CPU

    I need to get a new CPU for my computer, was wondering which would be better?
    AMD AthlonXP 2600+ with a FSB of 333, 256 cache running at 2.08GHz
    -or-
    AMD AthlonXP 2600+ with a FSB of 333, 512 cache running at 1.91GHz
    Also when buying a retail box CPU, does the fan come installed or do I have to put it on?
    I have a KT4 Ultra, 512MB 333 Ram (and one 512 400 Ram, not sure if I can use them both) and a 350w PSU.

    The temps are, when I can get into anything to tell me, in the 50C range. I have not had it running long enough to tell you anthing other than that. The thing will just lock up after about 2 minutes of running. This is the same thing it did on the od AMDXP 2000+ before it went south. And I am not sure it really did die. I am now thinking that I will need to look into getting a new motherboard.
    AS far as the ram goes, I have always bben running 333 ram. I have a 512 stick of the 333 and one of 400. The 400 is in a static bag not being used at this point since I am not sure if I want to risk using it underclocked with the stability problems I am have running at the recommended settings.
    Glad I got the laptop for christmas!
    I thank you, Wonkanoby, for taking your time so far helping me deal with this problem. I hope I can get it solved soon, I need to get my website stuff going again!

  • Installing New Boot Drive ?

    Sorry to double post but, had this in the wrong section.
    Hello, fellow G4'ers.
    Mine is G4 MDD 867 Dual CPU and has a giga 1.4 CPU upgrade, 1.75 GB RAM.
    ATI 9600 Mac OS X (10.4.11). 400W PS
    Still runs well enough for my purposes.. besides drives are pretty cheap these days, so why not.
    I Have 3 drives total now. 2 are Internal, 1 is External (FW400).
    1 - (original) Boot drive 60 gig (20 GB avail.)
    2 - Maxtor 200 gig with 2 partitions,
    a) 40 GB partition w/ 40 GB avail. and
    b) 160 GB partition w/ 90 GB avail.
    I also have a 250 gig FireWire External (bootable) drive that has a cloned, used CarbonCopyCloner,
    backup of the main boot drive and still has ~ 180 GB avail.
    I only want to replace the original (aging) boot drive BEFORE it goes bad.
    I read somewhere here that a separate partition for the system alone, could b a good idea. can anyone confirm this for me ?
    I got and installed the 2nd drive myself (Maxtor 200 GB), so I think I can do this.
    I need to be sure, as to a plan of attack here (software-wise), and appreciate any input as to a good way to do this.
    I'm sure there are a few ways it can be done.
    My best guess's are;
    1-get the new ATA drive (500 gig drives can be had for under $100) Any hot tips here ???.
    (How's this sound "500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 7200rpm 8.9ms 16MB Cache UltraDMA 100/ATA 5 HD" ?????
    2-Check and be sure a good bootable backup of boot drive exists on the External drive.
    3-Shut down and physically install the new drive, discard old drive, plugging it into the same place the old one was in. (I guess this is right, but not real sure about this, any jumpers to move/check ??? , ) any other possibilities here ?
    Now the variables/my best guesses :
    4.a ) Power On, Startup use the (C key), and boot with my Tiger Install disk, and install a fresh Tiger OSX 10.4.xxx system onto the new drive.
    QUESTION; Not real sure how to get this updated to 10.4.11 yet, but I think there's a "Combo" that will bring it right up to 10.4.11, but I'll need my internet connection for that.
    Perhaps boot with the clone/external and download the update file to disk and install it that way ??? Definitely need some help with this .
    4.b ) I could just copy/Clone in reverse from External to the new drive (I should think a clean install would be better here as to not keep any system flaws from my existing system, including that messy stuff that the latest security updates introduced. But, this could work, right ? Perhaps not ? I think I would really like to have a New Clean system as the Original HD may be weak/flawed.
    4c ) Perhaps there's a function in Disk Utility that can help with doing all this, Restore? Archive ? whatever ?
    OK. That's about where I am here. I'm not really a noobey, but I just never had to do all of this and want to be sure of a good plan before I get started, and don't want to overlook anything.
    Thanks very much

    Good News here, just to finish up.
    I Got a FW external. Cloned boot drive to it (CCC 3.1.2). Did a archive & install on the external clone with Tiger DVD, and updated it to 10.4.11 + all misc updates. Fixed permissions between all phases. Deleted previous sys folder. Rebuild & optimize w/DiskWarrior. Pull old boot drive, install new WD 320 GB, connections were all "Cable-select", no master/slave stuff. Started up with tiger DVD and formated the seen new drive. Booted from external, cloned clean, archived/new SYS to new boot drive. Done.
    Only a few small probs. with prefs. here and there, but all back and running fast & smooth and now I even have a regular backup plan to the external.
