Hi, I have an Advent 3200 pc. When I switch it on it gives 1 beep, approx 2 seconds but it doesn't boot up, well, at notthing appears on the monitor at least, the pc remains on, fan going, on switch is showing light etc but nothing on the moitor, monitor light is amber as it would be if pc was switched off.

Troubles with drivers - AMD Athlon XP

siddHDS — 2009-11-05T18:04:59 -05.00

A few days ago I tried to remove useless programs and, I'm afraid I removed some drivers for NDIS miniports and WAN miniport (Kaspersky filters), and ever since the appearance enlarged, certain programs do not run properly, the system recovery feature wouldn't go and i had no access to the net. I now have access to the net, but the rest of the problems have not gone away... what should I do?

here are my specs:

Problem with 3800 x2 64

Distorted Reality — 2009-10-18T18:33:49 -05.00

Got a problem with a recent swap of processor. Running Windows XP professional 64, using a Asus A8R-MVP motherboard, Asus something or other 6200 256MB graphics card, 1GB of ram, 160GB main drive and a 300GB secondary drive for audio work. I have 3 M-Audio 1010lt sound cards fitted. The original processor used was an AMD Athlon 64 3500 single core. This configuration was put together 3 years ago, never went wrong, a few times maybe programs would close down, nothing major.
However this is when problems started. I mess around with audio mixing and the current CPU was maxing out with the number of tracks and the VST plugins used. I bought a second hand chip off Ebay (here comes the comments about buying things off Ebay). The chip I got was a AMD Athlon 3800 x2 64 dual core. I plugged it in and the computer saw it without a problem. Then the problems started. The computer became unstable. It could work 2 or three hours fine then reboot or last a few minutes. I had to swap the old processor back in for a project and the computer was fine.
The other day I re-installed Windows and re-formatted the primary drive. it still rebooted. Then I updated the BIOS. I left the computer running a program for a few hours without a problem. I went to do something else, left the computer for a few minutes to find it had rebooted. When I checked the error message it said it was to do with Digital product ID.
Help, what can I do to fix this problem bearing in mind I'm not that computer minded or is it a problem that's not an easy fix?

AMD AthlonXP 2800+ shows unprecedented error?

PUR3R4Z0R — 2009-10-10T06:46:26 -05.00

Hello everyone,

As I mentioned in the title the CPU I have, currently there is a minor but very confusing problem.

When I got the computer and not until just a week earlier I surprisingly found out that the clocked speed of my CPU is 1.25Ghz, by checking through the Properties on My Computer as well as using other softwares such as CPUID and the alike. As we all know the CPU speed of this processor should be somewhere around 2Ghz. For all the time been, it has shown 2.08Ghz but for some weird reason it just showed 1.25Ghz.

In addition, the performance of the CPU does not seem to slow down as I totally cannot distinguish the change in the shown clock speed if I did not visually check it. As such, the actual performance was not changed.

Furthermore, I clearly remember that I did not change any of the settings on the computer, did not open the case and fiddle with the components inside, nor did i do anything that could potentially cause this problem. As you see, this does not effect the performance at all but I still would like to fix the problem and find our what kind of problem it is.

Much thanks,

wonlife — 2009-10-04T07:08:38 -05.00

Ok, so I realize the issue may be bad caps, only because of more knowledgable posters. But before I write it off as such, I'd like to exhaust all other possibilities.

I've disconnected the power, and taken out the mobo's battery, reset to 'optimal' in the bios.

I only have .5 as an option ect, nothing changes.

I'd mess w/ the jumpers however, the links on chaintech and tigerdirect (where I purchased it) to download the specs are ofc broken links.

Updating a bios

keyzz — 2009-09-27T12:59:29 -05.00

hi im new here, apologies if im in the wrong area,
i have an old xp2400+ motherboard, i have recently added some new ram to it and now before i can boot up i need to remove the cmos battery evertime, otherwise i get no picture,
i have read that i need to update the bios, i have the update files but have no floppy drive to boot them from, so am using a usb flash drive, the problem is when i change the boot options to the usb drive in the bios it wont stay like that because i have to remove the cmos battery and that resets everything, is there a way i can do this update from within windows? or does anyone know of a way to do it at all?
again my apologies if im in the wrong section
keyzz

Upgradeable?

Thierry — 2009-09-27T00:58:21 -05.00

Hello fellow AMD users, I'm in need of your help.

I have an XP3000+ AMD Athlon (tm) processor, I was wondering if I could upgrade the processor on my motherboard. I'm hoping to install Windows 7 but at the moment it isn't possible as the system will just end up coming to a crawl. I'd like max performance if possible, something that can handle Windows 7 & multiple apps running at once. I have 2.5gb ram installed but its no use if the processor isn't powerful enough to handle it right. All I need, sounds simple but probably isn't is a powerful processor which can fit straight into my motherboard, replace the current processor I have and upgrade my graphic card which isn't as complex as the processor issue thank god.

I don't mind providing more information if needed but please just remember I'll need abit of help, instructions if its einstein stuff lol no problems if its a prog like CPU-Z

This is a seprate issue all together, It came to my attention that my processor is logged on my system info as, AMD Athlon (tm) 1.30GHz, it never use to be that low? I've done abit of googling and seen its a common issue, BIOS settings are default and I've not made any changes to the speed or settings of the system manually

PC begins start up, runs memory check and even recognises that it now has a 3200. Sticks at the screen that asks:

Problem upgrading to Service Pack 2 (or 3)

Fleet — 2009-09-02T20:05:55 -05.00

SP2 was installed using the MS auto updater, then computer would not boot properly - constantly starting and restarting but never fully booting. Would only boot in Safe Mode. Uninstalled SP2, tried to reinstall it using the MS CD, had same problem. Tried this numerous times, got fed up. Computer works properly with SP1, but new software demands minimum of SP2...this should be on SP3 by now! I inherited this problem from a friend, and I'm trying to get it straightened out...

Specs:

HP Pavilion F1503
Microsoft Windows XP v 2002 SP1
AMD Athlon XP 2800+

Is there a driver/patch I need to make SP2, or better yet SP3 work?

TIA

asrock K7S41GX motherboard and AMD ATHLON xp3000+ problems.......

bungle666 — 2009-09-01T17:54:09 -05.00

Hi there, i have recently gained an old machine and decided to upgrade it.

the machine was originally fitted with a sempron 2400 processor.

i re installed windows, upgraded the RAM to the max board spec (2Gb of ddr pci2100) and all was fine till i inserted a gforce AGP graphics card. now this caused bad BSOD problems upon reaserching the problem i found it was a driver problem with the NVIDIA drives and uninstalled them going back to the on board graphics. all was well till i got an ATHLON 3000+ (AXDA3000DKV4D) then BSOD problems started AGAIN!! i did some reading and decided to upgrade the boards BIOS to V2.80 (the most recent) as the older versions wernt compatible with this board. and that seemed to to releive the problem. but it hasnt gone away completely

now when i get the BSOD the screen is alled jumbled up and features lines running down the screen. this leads me to think its an on-board graphics problem??!!

my current trains of thought are as follows.

1) try installing a DIFFERENT graphics card (Ie an ATI RADEON) too see if that cures the problem.

2) RAM fault although it works 100% in my mates machine

3) a windows driver/conflict problem, created since the upgrade to the 3000+ and now i need to re-install YET AGAIN!!

4) motherboard/processor bricked

any ideas chaps?? im tearing my hair out now!!

thanks alot

Hi,

I'm having a major problem getting Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64bit install on a brand new Satellite Pro L300D-22E. Both Windows 7 32bit and Windows Vista 64bit install fine with zero issues or problems.

I have tried...

Fresh install booting from CD
Upgrade install from within Windows Vista 64bit with latest device drivers
Turned off devices in BIOS

Everything I try get the exact same result...

"STOP: c00021a {Fatal System Error}
The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedily
Satus of 0x00000000 (0xc0000001 0x00100438).
The system has been shut down."

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I can go about fixing the problem and getting Win 7 64bit installed on this laptop?

Thank you

AMD Athlon XP 6400+ problems

MiTTnick — 2009-08-28T02:53:50 -05.00

Have an issue with my motherboard (MSI K9N) and processor (Athlon 6400+), Computer was running fine the first year and the problem started a few months ago,
problem is when ever i try to download something or copy something from another computer on the network the computer freeze, blue screen and then reboots, i tested a friends CPU (athlon 4400+) on my motherboard and it worked flawless. i tested a few other things too just to rule them out, tested different network cards and removed some other hardware to see if it fixed the problem, but sofar the only thing that seems to work is to change CPU, any ideas ?

All That can HELP me.

My AMD 2000+ XP Assrock motherboard problems.

Lynchy — 2009-08-07T09:49:16 -05.00

Hi I just joined mainly because I picked up an assrock PC with a AMD 2000+ XP processor on it with onboard graphics and sound it is a very good motherboard I'm very happy with it's performance overall. I have always used AMD processors, think I owned a pentium 3 once but mainly I'm used to AMD processors so I prefer them.

Anyway I don't know if this is related to my motherboard but it came to me 2nd hand with no CD or diagnostic tools so I had to hunt down the drivers at Assrocks website. I bought a 250gb ATA HD to use with it as it had only a 30gb one so i'm not sure if I've gone over the capacity there.

The problem is sometimes when I'm using the PC I get a blue screen and it says this:
An Exception has occured at 0028:C0013B82 in Vxd---. This was called from 0028:002F113 in VxD---. It may be possible to continue normally.

Prior to my using the 250gb hard drive on it's own it usually wasn't possible to continue but since I made it master and reformatted and put a brand new copy of windows 98 with an Me upgrade on it the few times it has happened it has usually been possible to continue. I was also getting an annoying problem whereby If i was in explorer and I ejected my CD rom manually it would go to blue screen even though I wasn't doing using the CD just looking at the icon. This was very annoying as I was like "Yes I know there is no cd in there cos i just took it out myself" you know. Anyway it seems to have been working ok last night but I'm not sure if that will continue.

My question is has anyone had this problem before. Is it a motherboard problem or a memory problem. I'm baffled by this stuff. Thanks for any help ?

Athlon XP 3200+ clocking problems

dwilliams — 2009-08-03T20:52:40 -05.00

Hi,

My Athnlon XP 3200+ shows that it is running at 3200+ (400) in the BIOS but when I boot into Windows and go the Control Panel/System, it shows only as an Athlon A at 1100 speed.

Which one is correct and why is it different and how can I put iti right?

I have seen other posts where the CPU is over heating or there are boot problems, but mine is fine other than this discrepancy.

Any help much appreciated

Cheers

Don't think both sides of a Athlon 2.3G Dual core are working

rac43 — 2009-08-03T18:38:36 -05.00

I have a 6 month old HP Pavition with a AMD Dual core Athlon 2.3G. I downloaded AIDA32 which is a small program that shows you your entire system and how everything is working. It shows my dual core processor, labled side 0 and side 1. Only side 1 is working according to AIDA. I also use a another HP comp. with same AMD processor and AIDA32 shows both sides, 0 and 1 working fine. I suppect only one side of this AMD is working. How do I find out for sure???

Updated driver for AMD Athlon XP 2200+

somebodysysop — 2009-08-02T16:22:26 -05.00

I have an amd athlon xp 2200+ processor. The current driver is:

Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Date: 4/1/2004
Driver Version 5.1.2600.0

I am having aproblem with a Dazzle video capture device. Their technical support pointed to this article: ">http://avid.custkb.com.../ap.....lite=Athlon

and, recommended that I update my processor driver, if possible.

After searching the amd site, the only possible candidate I was able to find was this:

AMD Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64)

But, it's install instructions do not indicated that it supports amd athlon xp, and, in fact, installing the software does not update the existing driver.

So, I say all that to ask: Does anyone know where I can locate the most recent amd athlon xp 2200* driver?

AMD Athlon XP being recognized as Duron

compgenius999 — 2009-07-30T10:23:24 -05.00

Its been nearly i year since i used this computer so i don't know the model of the processor, for some reason, in the bios, and in windows, it recognizes my 1.6ghz amd athlon xp as an 800mhz amd duron, i don't know why, but even when i go in the bios it says it is an amd duron and i can't change the clock speed to overclock it back to its normal speed because its greyed out, So this is really annoying because now my computer is a lot slower than it used to be, would there be any way of fixing this?

PC Keeps shutting down !!!

SouthSideRob — 2009-07-25T22:40:20 -05.00

I have a AMD Athlon XP 1500+ 1.34GHz, 512MB RAM.

I currently installed a new graphics card in one of the PCI slots (A Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS).

Now, I have 4 fans, one that is attached to the power supply, 1 on the mother board, 1 that is attached to the graphics card, and 1 that's built into the tower itself.

I downloaded SppedFan 4.38. It says my GPU is running at 57C (with a red flame warning) and my Core is also running at 57C (with a red flame warning).

The program is only reading the speed of one fan which I assume is the fan on the mother board. Its speed is at 3750RPM.

I've had my tower open while the power is on and all the fans are spinning.

Any help or assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Athlon XP +2400 chip overheats badly.

Master Jake — 2009-07-24T15:24:24 -05.00

Hi

I have a Gigabyte K7 Triton Series [GA-7VM4OOM(F)]
It's has a Athlon XP +2400 that runs at 2010Mhz.

It was running at 1999Mhz for 2 years (I thought I screwed it overclocking?) but I had to reset my BIOS cuz of a CMOS errors after I tryed to install a Athlon XP Barton chip. But those don't work in my mother board. (There goes $25..) I put my old chip back in and it ran at it's normal speed of 2010Mhz but it overheats like heck?!
The time it takes windows to loaded and me to opened up EasyTune 4 to check the heat, its already over 54c!! It's only 20c in the room the computer is in.

I have to underclock the computer plus open the computer door and point a house fan at the motherboard just to get it under 50c.

It has two fans, one CPU/Heatsink and a door fan.
Is my current processer shot or whats wrong with it?

EDIT:
I tryed my computer again and this time it was near 65c-70c by the time I had Windows loaded?!!!

AMD ATHLON XP 3000+ (SYSTEM CRASHES AT NORMAL SPEED)

randallp.floyd — 2009-07-01T03:39:04 -05.00

**(Sorry for the re-post, I just realized it was in the wrong category)**

Here is my problem (I hope someone can help):

I recently installed an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2X200MHz) in my ASUS A7N8X-X mobo. Everything runs just fine under normal conditions. However, when I launch certain games, the system crashes after about 10-15 mins. Other high-demand games run just fine (it actually seems that the lower CPU intensive games have the problems).

I have noticed that if I back the clock speed down to about 175MHz (or less), everything runs great (if a little slow). I believe this is because that is the speed at which the memory defaults to "tighter" timings (i.e. - 3-4-4-7). The RAM that I have installed is kind of cheap (it only supports memory timings of 3-3-3-8 @ 200MHz w/ 1:1 FSB-DRAM ratio).

I have done exhaustive web research on this issue and have run numerous diagnostics to ensure that all of my hardware is performing properly (i.e. - OCCT (CPU, GPU & PSU "stress" tests), memtest, etc.). I have also installed SpeeFan (temperature/voltage monitor) to make sure that everything is running in line with tech. specs. Everything looks good and I have found no obvious errors.

-So, my question for the "experts" is this:

*WILL UPGRADING TO HIGH-PERFOMANCE RAM WITH 'TIGHTER" MEMORY TIMINGS (i.e. - 3-3-3-6 (or better)) FIX THIS PROBLEM?*

I am by no means a computer expert (though my brother who has a C.I.T. degree is close). We have tried everything that we can think of in an attempt to pin down the cause of this instability issue . . . all to no avail! I have exhausted every possible solution that I can come up with and have not been able to fix the problem - I NEED HELP! I am just hoping that someone with some experience and expertise in these matters will read this post and be able to offer some sound suggestions (I am willing to try anything that might work at this point). I just want a decent gaming system that works properly; I can't afford a new one right now.

-Below are my system specifics:

ASUS A7N8X-X ACPI BIOS Rev. 1011
AUSTIN 450W PSU (DR-B450E)
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2X200MHz)
*PC3200 DDR 400 RAM (1.5GB)*
ATI Radeon X1650 Pro AGP (256MB)
WDC WD800JB-00JJA0 (HDD0)
ST380215A (HDD1)
LITE-ON DVDRW SHW - 160P6S (not used for gaming)
NVIDIA nForce2 400 Chipset

I am running Windows XP Pro and have all latest BIOS (Pheonix - Award) & Driver updates (I think)

*** Also, it is important to note that this system was running well with my previous AMD Athlon XP 2400+ CPU (if a bit slower) *** (all these same games were playable before) ***

-Let me know if you have any further questions or need more information to assess the problem.

-THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS POST - ANY SUGGESTIONS OR SOLUTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!-

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ freezes with 2x512 MB of RAM

spedy7 — 2009-06-30T21:10:59 -05.00

So, since I ordered COD4 recently, I wanted to upgrade my PC (not a complete PC whiz ). So, I chose RAM over CPU (don't have money ATM to buy a new CPU) and decided to add another stick of 512 MB of RAM to my PC (already had 512 MB of RAM before).

Specs:
-ATI Radeon HD 4650, 512 MB of space
-AMD Athlon64 Processor 3000+
-500 gig harddrive (don't ask...)
-Used to be 512 MB of RAM, with both would total 1024 MB of RAM
-Windows XP
-One stick of old RAM, one stick of new RAM

When I booted up my PC with BOTH sticks of RAM, it would freeze at the boot up screen or later on in a program/desktop (about 2-10 minutes later, maybe not even that) and I would have to restart it. Then, with ONE stick of RAM, new or old, it works just fine. Is it the issue that one is older? Are incompatible with one another?

Could use a reply quick as COD4 is here in about 2 days and want to play it at an ok level of detail.

Thank you for any help .

Starting up

The_Un_Forgiven — 2009-06-29T01:55:29 -05.00

Well I picked myself up a motherboard the other day and was trying to install it and of course I ran into a bunch of problem.

I was running a 2000+ AMD on a M7VIG Proboard with 2 Gigs of ram and was looking to install a 2600+ AMD on a AV3I board.

I switched everything ov er, the ram,the power supply, and even the harddrive.
I knew it was new components to the hardrive and all, but also knew the last time I did this it was like plug and play, it just had me re-register my windows.

Maybe this was my mistake.

SO I had a bench test done on the AV3I so I knew it was responding earlier in the day/

None the less I had everything set up and of course it boots all up and everything,butI kept getting an error message at the top saying that windows could not be loaded.

I figured it was odd and put my M7VIG Pro board back in.

Now everytime my widows loads up I get a quick blue screen that flashes so fast I cant read anything,and when I start up in safemode, before I can do anything it frezes/

Fortunatly I was smart enough to use my camera and tape the blue screen.
One time it was saying something about viruses, then it wassaying stuff about shadowing ram and cache.

I can get further details on what it says if need be.

I did also notice something in the first littlebit you see on the screen, when it telling you memory testing and all.

It says "Primary IDE channel no 80 conductor cable installed."

I dont think I have ever seen that before.Im not sure what it is either.

Amd athlon xp 2400+ says its a duron

fmax30 — 2009-06-27T04:24:57 -05.00

Ok here is the deal
my amd athlon xp 2400+ was over heating (yes i do mean overheating a lot 114 degrees)
so i thought of cleaning the heat sink got all the dirt out without removing the heatsink (got the heat down to 65)i just removed the fan.and cleaned with dry cloth and got all the dirt out.
but when i installed the fan again and started the computer it said i was running a Amd Duron 2000mhz.
well it didnt bother me much but the problem came when my computer restarted on every small application/game/movie which took a little of the processing power.

AMD 5000+ 64 x2 2.6ghz Fan Constantly High RPM

yutty — 2009-06-24T02:25:52 -05.00

Hi,

I'm having issues with my cpu fan being wayy too loud. When I start it up and check the bios it shows the rpms at 3100-3300 while the temperature is sitting at 18-23 degrees. And it stays like this after start up and is just idling doing nothing. The high rpm combied with my grapics card noise makes my cpu unbearable. Just got it today and have had on for only 10 mix at a time max its so loud.

This just doesn't seem right. I've heard about a cool n quiet program, but I don't know if my mother board supports it. I'm not much of a computer whiz but i have common sense. Also i saw somewhere there's an optimizer for the dual core someone. But I don't know if I already have it, when i right click on my processors and go to update driver it says the current driver is fine.

Please help me out. Provide some links or advice, should I get a new fan??? Post a reply here or give me a quick email at yuttyis@msn.com I prefer the latter. Anyways thanks and cheers.

Adobe Flash Crashes IE & Computer

RAZOR0018 — 2009-06-17T15:30:18 -05.00

I have an ongoing problem where streaming flash videos sometimes randomly crashes Internet Explorer and my computer along with it. This is the only time these crashes occur. Sometimes it just reboots and sometimes it actually shows a BSOD.

My computer was made, overclocked and tested by a close friend and I am not too hardware savvy. This person is not within communication reach any longer and I would like to know whether this is a common problem with an easy solution. I found a site that stated this is common with ATI drivers but didn't provide a solution. Also the problem extends to updated drivers aswell.

Since I do not see an attach option I have uploaded my system information in a text file here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zvtgxywtjyi

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

as stated in the summary, i am aware many people have this problem and with the power of google i can just find the solution myself. but, unfortunately when ever i do such a thing, i mess everything up. so, after two bad years of low quality games, ive decided to finally do something about it.

so, with that said, i will post my poor computer specs and such. if you need more info just ask.

Oh the most recent crash happened when i was playing this new MMO called Jade Dynasty. Even at lowest settings, i crashed right at the login screen.
It is able to run games such as The Sims 2, Battlefield 2142 (crashes at close up explosions), World of Warcraft, Atlantica, and some other games with low requirements.

problem with 7750be

specs: amd athlon 64 x2 7750
msi k9a2vm-f v2
2 x 1gb apacer pc 6400
ati r3870 512/256/ddr3

*** when i was using xp sp3 this system was okay with some heating but itw was tolerable. after i upgrade it to vista i noticed an even more heat coming. after exploring the vista environment my system hang up. i reset it but nothing came out.

i noticed that when i remove the memory at dimm 2 slot my system will boot but if i will put memory on dimm 2 slot it goes blank. i swap both memory at dimm 1 slot and its goes well with out memory at dimm 2 slot.

i go to the store where i bought it assuming i had a rpoblem with my motherboard and get it replaced with the new motherboard but with the same processor and memory config, my system goes blank with the 2 dimm slot occupied.

we tried replacing the processor with athlon 64 x2 5000+ with the 2 dimm slot occupied and to our surprice, it goes well. we even swap memory lanes and it goes well also. we therefore conclude that i had a problem with my 7750 processor.

could anybody tell me what hapen to my 7750 processor and what could have caused it? thank you

*** also with my athlon 7750, with the same config, the nb ht speed only reads 1800 mt/s at 2700 core while the athlon 5000+ the nb ht speed reads at 2600 mt/s at 2600 core. does it means 7750 had an issue with its ht or vice versa? i use amd overdrive with this.

does this mean 5000+ is better than 7750? can anybody help me out? thank you
