hey all, I recently purchased an Amd Athlon 630 X4. When I installed it, I tried to boot into windows but it just wouldn't work. It would get up to starting windows and would just do nothing.
things I have done:
Updated BIOS
Reinstalled OS with my dual core in then installed my quad core
Ive played around with the voltages in the BIOS but still no luck
Although I tried under clocking it by changing the multiplier in the BIOS from 14 to 12
and then reduced the voltage by 0.050. And that's the only time it boots up, and even then its not stable when I stress test it.
I tried updating my BIOS again using Q flash, for the first time I successfully managed to boot into windows with all the default settings, but as soon as I restarted the same problem but with a quick BSOD I couldn't read and then the PC restarting again. When I put my dual core everything works fine.
System specs
My dual core is an AMD athlon 64 X2 5000+
4gb ddr2 - 2 dell sticks and 2 zeppalin
Ati radeon 4870
GA mA770 ud3- rev 2.0
OCZ stealxstream 600w
Windows 7 - 64bit
Guys I will really appreciate your help Thanks.
