Windows and AMD 64 X2

Hi
I don't really know if I can get away with posting this here, but this is the only forum I know where people are technically competent enough to help me out. Recently I've put together my own computer, I had a few issues to start off with but then everything worked fine. However one day when I loaded Windows it said "new hard ware found", then something along the lines of "x64 based processor found" and "multicore processor detected and installed" followed by "new hardware installed but may not work until computer is restarted".
So I though, o..k, and restarted the computer, when I did I checked my performance panel in windows and noticed it was no longer detecting my 2nd core. After reading about on this forum for a bit I messed about with drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, updating them, rolling back them and finally I got it to work again. However windows did the same thing again a few days later (today in fact) and now after messing about a lot I've not been able to resolve the issue at all. Can someone please help me out or point me in the right direction to get help.
-Motherboard type and model (MSI K8N Neo4)
-Bios (1.6)
-CPU type and model (AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+)
-Memory quantity (2 x 1 GB)
-Video card name (nVidea 6600)
-Hard Drives: 200GB IDE0 they are located on
-Optical Drives: Samsung IDE1 and IDE2, DVD writter and DVD reader
-Windows XP Pro x64 SP1 (equivalent to SP2 for most XPs)

I assume you are using the performance monitor in the task manager. Under VIEW.....CPU HISTORY you should get the option to display ONE GRAPH ALL CPU's or ONE GRAPH PER CPU. On a single CPU system it only gives the option ONE GRAPH PER CPU. This may help determine if windows is in fact not seeing the second processor.
I already knew that thanks, I also had AMD Power Monitor running which doesn't have this option and just shows however many cores are running. O.K, the problem seems to have kind of  gone away and I don't know why...
But thanks for the help, if I figure out why it's working again I'll post it to hopefully help other people.

I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • Blank screen after installing K7T turbo and AMD 2000+ chip

    Hello, I got a problem, can anyone help me figure this out.
    Currently I changed my old motherboard and replaced it with a K7t Turbo2 Motherboard and I also bought a AMD Xp 2000+ processor chip to go with it.
    After installation, I encountered numberous problems like:
    1. The computer will only turn on and off by the power source box at the back of the computer.
    2. The reset button doesn't reset the computer at all.
    3.  I keep getting a blue screen when entering windows xp (forgot what the message said, but said something like, it did that to help windows or something).
    Anyways after that, I formatted the hard drive.  Re-installed it with Windows XP.  Once the installation was completed, it automatically reset, the computer.  BUT insatead it just gave a blank black screen while the computer is still on(I can tell because I can still hear the heat sink fan blowing).
    Next, I turned the power switch (on the back) off and on again. The computer did successfully booted and it brought me to the windows xp's Window.  I then logged off from windows and now I have this problem:
    When turning the computer back on, the computer will boot up, then a few seconds later (about 3 to 5 seconds) the computer will shut right off.  
    Any questions or answers will be great appreciated.

    HI. What version bios are you running? If its 3.0, you need to update your bios in order to run the 2000XP. Are you sure that your  case wires for the switches are in the right place? One way you might try to test the psu, is to close jumper j17, This will make the cpu run at 100fsb. If it boots ok at 100 fsb, Then your power supply is probably the culprit.With j17 open, the cpu runs at full power,133fsb, and it takes more power to run. BIGDADDY51 CT.USA  J17 is located just under the memory slots.  edit: you mean power off and on by power supply switch? This is normal. Then you should be able to push the case switch and have the computer restart.Check your case wires again.

  • CS3 Wont Open in Windows 7--AMD Processor Issue--HELP!

    After much, much searching I've found there's been a common issue with AMD Processors on Windows 7 and getting CS3 to run correctly. Apparently a patch was created, that fixed the problem for users with similar issues. But the links to those patches are no longer valid.
    I have no phone right now, chat aint working--and I can't email Adobe of course, soooo someone please...
    The forum I found with those links and explanations is here:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/software/25313-adobe-cs3-64-bit-ultimate-3.html
    From there, this pretty much describes it:
    "Just bought an HP Pavillion Elite with Windows 7 Home Premium and AMD processor.  Photoshop CS3 would install but would hang when accessed. Some forums  suggested that Photoshop CS3 is incompatible with this AMD processor and  Windows 7 (64-bit). I called HP and was told the software is  incompatible. I was just about to return my computer when I found this  forum. I downloaded and installed the patch. I then opened Photoshop  (for the thousandth time) and voila--it FINALLY opened!!!"
    I've also found many other isntances of this complaint with AMD Processors--Photoshop gets a window open then goes into Not Responding. All other applications don't open at all (but are visible in my task manager). So it's not really a Photoshop specific complaint but I'm placing it here.
    I've updated graphics card, changed the desktop theme to Classic, not Aero, tried running the programs in different compatibility modes, all to no avail.
    This patch these guys are mentioning has GOT to be it. Someone help me get back to work!!
    thank you all in advance.

    I had not tried "run as administator." What the hell is that?! I see where to do it and all, but honestly, these permissions
    /security/owner/administrator issues on Windows 7 are nothing short of ridiculous.
    Every time I think Microsoft may have finally done something right...
    I'll try that again down the road. For the moment, looks like Adobe Acrobat 8 is completely incompatible with Windows 7 and almst impossible to delete from the system. SO first task--restoring factory setttings.
    In the meantime I'll speak to that patch for Licenseing:
    Solution 1: I ran it, but didn't seem to do anything. There was no confirmation of a successful "install," or what you might call it. Secondly, when running again, I was never prompted to enter 0.
    Solution 2: I believe those settings were already set as described and so I couldn't really make any changes.
    Solution 3: Those folders don't exist, so couldn't do that one.
    For various other reasons I wasn't having luck with the next couple thanks to stupid permissions. I'll try again once I've gotten back up to speed.
    But yea, someone out there seems to have found a CS3 patch. Am I at least to presume that CS5 would def. work on my comp, and therefore, CS6 is a shoe-in?

  • [SOLVED]Are X11 and AMD catalyst drivers friends again?

    last time i installed linux on my laptop X11 had dropped support fro amd catalyst drivers (proprietary video card drivers), did amd do something about it? did X11 team reconsider? can i use the catalyst drivers on X11 again now?  my laptop and it's stupid APU or "dual graphics" aren't playing so nice with the open source radeon drivers.

    If wine supported skype, i would be more dead set on using linux than using the amd proprietary drivers.
    The reason this isn't a big deal to me is mostly because i only use this laptop for 3 things, regardless of OS. Teamspeak 3, Skype, Playing Videos.
    I have it set up on a dual boot because neither windows nor linux seem to be reliable on this laptop, the reason is hardware-side, this APU is driving me nuts.
    The reason i'm having problems with the radeon drivers is that even if i set my computer to disable the "switchable graphics" on boot it sometimes seems to randomly re-enable it without even notifying me. The reason this is bad is because the switchable graphics cause my laptopt to overheat. If this happens in windows it usually just enters hibernation mode while the heat levels are just barely critical, in linux however it keeps running for a while at critical levels before it'll finally just overeat. I'm hoping that the AMD proprietary drivers can help me solve this on the linux side.
    Whichever operating system i can manage to make stop ever using the switchable graphics (thus preventing all overheating) will be the one i will use in the end, but i'm not in any big rush, windows is working decently for me on the laptop right now, and i can patiently wait for the amd proprietary drivers to support X again, since i  don't interact much with the computer at all anyways. Using linux would mostly just be to make the laptop look better. Linux seems to be the more likely one to succeed with this task in the end however (because i can optimize/customize it a whole lot more than i ever could windows, and because i'm scared of updating the catalyst drivers in windows because my laptop has often just completely broken upon catalyst driver update in windows.)

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
    Thanks,

  • Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

    Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
    I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

  • [SOLVE] Dual Boot Windows and ArchLinux with Syslinux

    Ok, i installed ArchLinux on my laptop with Windows XP (syslinux) and I cannot find get Windows to boot or mount it. I have tried to do what i can to do this but cannot. I Installed XP first like a should and something i think might be needed to know is after i created the partitions scheme (10Gb (boot partition), 50GB (XP), 80GB(was unallocated)). The installation disk formated both 2 partitions in NTFS but i installed XP on the second and Windows reported them as C and D drives. Windows being D. Thought that was bit werid thinking Windows installed the mbr on that partition. When I installed ArchLinux, it did have the boot flag set on 10GB (or C drive).
    Since I installed ArchLinux, I have been unable to find a solution to mounting/booting to Windows. Installed NTFS-3G and that didn't work when i tried mount /dev/sda3 windows and i did created a folder named windows but got ...
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,

    Here is the partition table:
    /dev/sda1 one HUGE linux /boot primary partition (assuming ext4)
    /dev/sda2 "name" of the extended partition
    /dev/sda3 primary Windows partition (assuming NTFS)
    /dev/sda5 logical Linux root partition (assuming ext4)
    /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda4 are either all primary, or three primary and one extended. After /dev/sda4 all partitions are logical. If you're still wondering why is there no /dev/sda4, it's because you have 2 primary and one extended, so /dev/sda4 is reserved for another primary partition.
    Windows problem:
    The /dev/sda1 which Windows named C: is Windows equivalent of linux /boot. When you told linux to place its /boot on /dev/sda1 it formated boot files of Windows. Now you have Windows OS with no kernel. In other words there is no way to boot Windows if you don't reinstall it. Actually there is a way, but you would than screw up Arch.
    Mounting problem:
    You can never mount extended partition, only logical (an extended partition is made of logical partitions). You want to do:
    sudo mount /dev/sda3 -t NTFS-3g -o rw,uid=YourUserName /path/where/you/want/this/partition/mounted
    EDIT:
    Try it this way:
    - Backup all your data
    - Delete every partition
    - Start Windows installation
    - Make only one partition (c:/ for Windows)
    - Let Windows make another partition
    - Make one more so you could have a data partition, which does not need to be formated to reinstall Windows
    - Start Arch installation
    - Get to partitioning
        =Partitioning=
        - /dev/sda4 extended (take the rest of the drive)
        - /dev/sda5 logical /boot 512MiB
        - /dev/sda6 logical /          20GiB
        - /dev/sda7 logical /home (the rest)
    Making a separate /home partition will come in handy when reinstalling Arch (any linux distribution), or switching between distros, because it is the equivalent of D:/ in Windows. Also consider LVM.

  • FIREFOX 26 changed the 'post crash' page with the list of windows and pages. It was a real HTML page with links for each page. Now it isn't (and blows)

    * You changed the page that comes up after a crash - the one which shows the windows and pages that were up before the
    crash.
    This used to be a real HTML page and it isn't any more. THis choice was pure isiocy consider how peopel used that page every day (try taking to your users for a change).
    The pages listed on that 'post crash page' used to be actual LINKS (you could right click them &
    manually open them in another tab - and most peope DID that every day). You could also (and I did this a lot) drag a second
    copy of the page, into a new tab (to keep track of all the pages I had not wanted to open)
    Now the pages are no longer links. You cannot right-click them.
    The thing in the probser is no longer a page that I can drag into a new tab.
    Roll the version back and throw this one in the bin...and have a good long talk with your developers about the definition of
    'STUPIDITIY'
    Then I try to type anything in the addres bar it is suppose to repoond with the history of old things I have types in the past, or
    search for what I type (and in some cases I think it tyes to convert it intoa URL). However it no longer does any of these
    things. When I type in the ADDRESS BAR ONLY, I do not get all of my letters to appear. I have to type into a notepad or
    into the search and to copy and paste to go to a URL. Nothing that is typed into the address bad responds normally at all
    anymore, and I am fairly certain there are no new addons on this machine at all. It does not matter which things I disable. It
    still does this. W of course points the finger back at a change to FIREFOX. I wich I could just sitct with one stable release
    forever but the MOZILLA folk thing it is best to force peopel awy from a working broswer release to a horrible one (due to it
    being out of date).
    FIREFOX 26.0 has 'issues' (ie new *features*/bugs)
    1) History is no longer accurate. My Proof? This machine is the primary one for the entire family (the only PC working). It is
    logged in with same user every time and never has its history cleared. It now January 7 so I ought to have a list of all of last
    months browing available to me.
    However, according to FIREFOX history, in all of December 2013, the entire family only went to 51 primary URL's. None of
    the official TV sites I use to get episodes are listed. None of the official movie sites I use are listed. The primary URL for
    ebay is not listed. Only 1 out of our 4 weather sites that I use (at least once a week) are listed. Only 1 of our 3 FINANCE
    sites is listed. There ought to be several; hundred root URLs listed.
    Please fix history as this change seriously "blows greasy chunks"
    PROBLEM (a stupid change in the new FIREFOX version)
    FOr a long time, after a crash you got a useful page (a real HTML page) which gave you a list of all of your last sessions
    'winwos and tabs' that were open when the browser crashed. there were certain ways of using this page that are no longer
    able to be done.
    The old method was wonderful as it had this behavior :
    *** The old method for displaying your 'Recovered Tabs' allowed you to :
    a) right click an individual item and open it in a tab without getting rid of that lovely window of your previous session of
    'recovered windows and tabs '.
    2) drag the URL for the entire window of 'recovered windows and tabs ' to a new tab (to make a second copy) so that you
    could select just a few of them to open as a group, and stil have the old list handy.
    You can no longer do either of these things. The 'recovered windows and tabs ' page no longer has links in it and can no longer be dragged, so you cant select a few of them to use, and keep the rest around for later. NOW - once you choose which pages to open the window is gone forever (can can't get a second copy).
    People used to make a copy of the page for later use (with a drag)
    we also used to open pages with a right click (which no longer functions
    This new method seriously blows big greasy chunks. A parge loss in function has occurred.
    Put things back as they were. 26 is full of terrible changes that NOBODY likes. It also has a lot of bugs (history is not reliable at all)

    (1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
    You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
    (2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
    Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.
