crispy_chick3n Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 pretty much what the title says. i changed out my processor from a dual core athalon to a quad core phenom, and windows wont recognize it. i did a CMOS reset and BIOS recognizes the new CPU, but i cant get windows to see the quad core. it keeps saying im running the athalon. the pc works, thats what im using to type this. any tips or ideas on getting windows to see the new CPU?

hifonix Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 How did you reset the CMOS? When you check taskmgr how many cores does it show? Under Construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 You may have to download AMD drivers. Run windows update, or go to device manager, right click on your PC and "Scan for changes" 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

Quiet Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 What mobo? 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifonix Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I would do the jumper clear again no need to remove the battery. Then check bios on mobo see if it can be updated. Possible AMD drivers as someone said. Check in bios settings also and make sure it has the right multiplier and speed (in the bios settings not post screen.)

Quiet Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 CPU-Z is just informational. But you're on the right track. Go into device manager, right click on your computer at the top of the tree and select "Scan for new hardware" W10 should load the latest AMD Driver. I vaguely remember having to do this when I got a 8 core proc. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy_chick3n Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 i scanned for new hardware and this is what i got correct me if im wrong, but if it were a situation where the bios needed updating/ compatibility issue the computer wont post and boot. going to try and check for updates under windows update real quick edit: no available updates at this time This page is crispy_chick3n approved. © crispy_chick3n inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
