New CPU causes BSOD. HELP!
Hey everyone;
I'm running XP SP3 on an older system. I had an E2200 CPU in an MSI motherboard (P35 Neo2). Last night I dropped a new CPU in--an E8500. Now the system will pass POST fine and the BIOS recognises the new CPU, but Windows won't boot. It gets to the logo screen, then flashes a BSOD and reboots. I've gone into the advanced startup options and said "don't reboot on failure" (or whatever the wording is), which allowed me to capture the Stop code: 0x8e. I ran Windows Memory test overnight and after 145 passes, it found no errors so I think I'm safe there. Also, I can't boot into safe mode. It does the same thing. Ideas? Is it actually a bad CPU or Windows just being annoying? Thanks, Colin --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net/ - Complaints to --- |
