Veradesigns 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Hi guys i recently bought a Pentium® Processor e5400, i tried to upgrade it to a Abit ip35-e motherboard. The problem is the Pc, once it boots to windows, it restarts giving an error screen that only stays on for a mili-second then Computer restarts, i also tried to install a new harddrive with Windows Xp Os, and the problem still occured. Can anyone help me know or fix my problem. Then i reinstalled my old cpu back and it worked fine i know it has to do something with my cpu upgrade, so please can anyone help me? Abel Thank you all.

bluedragon 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I had a similar issue once when I tried upgrading from AMD to INTEL .. Someone told me it has something to do with the hardware profile. Since your new config won't be recognized by the old hardware profile , as soon as the windows realizes this it thinks there has been a corruption in the file and reboots There are two ways out of this 1. Change the hardware profile [i DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS] 2. Format your system and re-install windows :XD: .. This will work 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veradesigns 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Thank you for your answer bluedragon but the thing is we tried to boot up from windows xp disk to have complete system format on a brand new hard drive and it still restarted on me. Any help? i researched that once you upgrade from sp2 to sp3 after upgrading to different brand motherboard from Intel to AMD was a problem but i did not change brands my old chip set is Intel 1.6 ghz dual core.

See if it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
