machine posts fine then reboots when it starts to load vista

[Zargon]

it does the same thing when I try and boot to the DVD to run a repair.

the only change was swapping in a Q9550 to replace my E6320.

the bios recognizes the CPU fine. and MSI says it should support it.

its frustrating as crap

the temps have never been above 40C when I check the hw monitor in bios


specs:
Intel Q9550
MSI P35 Neo
2x2gb OCZ Reaper DDR2 800
ATI Radeon hd 4850X2
500 gb Caviar Black
Antec TruPower Trio 650
Antec P180

I just checked and I am running a pretty up to date bios from april

ive yanked pretty much everything, down to 1 stick of ram , one hdd, ive yanked the dvd drive the sata card I have ETC ETC

It most likely does this because of the hardware swap. The BIOS can read it, and even Windows may be able to. But it still tries to load the other dual-core drivers upon boot and that's why it shuts off. Try safe mode, and if that doesn't work either, you might have to reinstall Windows.

I don't claim this to be 100% accurate, but the same thing happened to me when I accidentally yanked out a legacy SATA driver from Windows XP.

If you put your E6320 back in does it still do it?

 

[Zargon]

trying that tonight.

it boots now, I had to turn the FSB down(I forgot my 6320 was clocked to 400fsb)(ooopsies)

but I get lots of random BSOD's

"clock interupt not recovered on a secondary processor within allocated time"


alot of google entries I am seeing point to a faulty CPU as a good possibility. that would be annoying, since I got it from microcenter via my cousin 2 hours away. So if Intel wanted me to go through them that would be a huge PITA

You have gone into bios and set to default (or whatever your bios says...there should be an option for fail safe boot, or optimal boot)?

 

[Zargon]

will try tonight. I've fudged with just about every setting by now, including losing my optimal ram settings on accident.

I just changed the MPS table to 1.4 and let it try and run a scandisk

I'll know when I swing by in a while if that did it any good

 

[Zargon]

If I have to swap back to the E6320 and it just works, I will try the Q9550 in the spare case with a MSI p6N SLI Platinum in it and see how that goes I guess.

 

[Zargon]

with the fail safes it hangs on boot.

I am going to swap the 6320 in, update the bios and drivers, then swap CPUs again.

if that doesnt work I am going to call intel and try and get them to swap me CPU's.

I am not driving 2 hours each way to exchange this at microcenter thats for sure.

 

[Zargon]

and here I am on the 6320 machine is doing just fine

 

[Zargon]

grr
brciekd with teh windows bios update util

now I have to try and recover it

 

[Zargon]

Ive tried to do bios recovery but cant get it to do anything

any thoughts suggestions?

anyone got a spare MSI P35 neo laying around
