I put together an Athlon 64 3400+, A8V MB. (I'm a nosepicker, not a computer guy.) Worked fine, loaded Computer Associates EZ Armor, including EZ Antivirus. Computer started rebooting. It boots up to the desktop, then reboots again, and again, and again. Checked with Computer Associates, they emailed that I need to see if the CPU was compatible with their program.

Emailed back that the CPU worked, the program didn't, and maybe they could help. No answer.

And AMD has been less than accessible, even following their directions for contact.

Anyone know if incompatibility is a problem, and more importantly, how I can get the thing to stop rebooting.

I'd more than appreciate it.

Thanks, Corky Corcoran

You can try booting into safemode. To do this get into safemode, as soon as the bios finishes posting, then go ahead and hit the F8 key and it will give you the option to go into safe mode and remove the program. Make sure it doesnt reboot in safe mode. It does sound like the CA software just didnt install right. I dont think its a cpu issue, just a bad install.

Unofficial chat on both.

Rigs: AMD 3700, MSI RD 480 Neo 2, X850Xt, 2GB GSkill
Dell Latitude D810, Pentium M 740, 128MB (ded.) X600, 2GB Crucial
AMD 3200, GB K8NS Ultra, x800xlaiw, 2GB Corsair.

That worked. Uninstalled the program suite, and it's screaming along once more. Thanks a lot.
