I just bought a replacement CPU. One of them went bad. One was bought in the United States and the other was bouth in TAIWAN< I am in TAIWAN now>>> well when i put the new one in it would boot and load windows xp pro..... but upon rebooting it would display the following error message.... "UNKNOWN HARDWARE ERROR..... When I took one of the cpu out>>> it would boot no problem.... Could it be the cpu i bought in the UNITED STATES is incompatible>>> has a different lot? If i boot up on either CPU alon>>>> it works no problem......


any solutions or suggestions kindly welcomed

thanks

Hi might be worth checking the code number on each cpu i think theyd have to match in every way also id check out at www.ntcompatible.com this list every piece of hardware that will run on all windows based platforms XP,ME ETC. Good luck with it .Might also be worth e-mailing AMD i just done a search on that site nothing there.

Hi,

I had the exact same problem with a very similar set up. The issue with my system was the ATI Graphics card......

I'm now using a Nvidia 5 series and its fine. I'd try a different one if you can mate....
