upgrade from Intel P3 to XP1600 w/XP "BlueSreenofDeath"

I upgrade to AMD XP1600 cpu w/Epox 8KHA+ MoBo from P3 815Chipset MoBo...i have XP pro installed...
When i swap out and boot up with new MoBo Combo..XP say it has Detected a Problem and Will Shut Down....!!!
I can not get past this screen....!!!

Any Help would be great...🙂🙁😱:|
 
An upgrade that drastic will almost definitely require a reinstall of Windows. Even switching motherboards that support the same processor type will generally require a reinstall. The motherboard drivers are sooo different between an Athlon motherboard and an Intel motherboard that Windows freaks out and will either not boot at all or you will have major issues, even if it does manage to boot and re-recognize all of your devices.

If you were using a *nix operating system you'd mosty likely be fine and the OS would hum along as if nothing happened. Windows however isn't that forgiving.
 


<< bump


anyone!?!?!?... >>



You are a junoir member so I will try and make it nice. Excessive bumping (such as this) is not a good thing. In fact, it is frowned upon. Especially for such a silly problem.
 
Excessive bumping (such as this)

Hey!!!! i only did it one time......and THIS SILLY PROBLEM IS SEATTING HERE ON FLOOR TRYING TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER!!!!

this forum has always been a god send to alot of people who have had SILLY PROBLEM'S..with there computers...

since you seem to responed to alot of questions...(5000 +) in the last six month's I am sure you have seen alot of

repeat Q/A everyday....

i asked a legitimate question that was semi detailed and would be hard to search on this forum for a correct answer...

MAYBE U NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF!!! THIS FORUM....and leave the SILLY Question to people who don't mind SILLY QUESTION!!!!

You did it less than half an hour after the original post. That is excessive.

Its helped me plenty of times. How many times have I started a thread asking for help? Search feature is nice isnt it? 🙂

Yes, and I flame them worse than I did you. Like I said, you are new, I was going to tone it down. Even for this obvious problem.



<< i asked a legitimate question that was semi detailed and would be hard to search on this forum for a correct answer... >>



Yes legitimate. As in it was a question. Well almost.

Ban me.
 
Called MS today with the same problem, had to repair XP using the CD. Had to boot from Win 98 start disk and copy smartdrv.exe from a Win ME cd. Unfortunately, I can't remember what exactly to do after this. I am searching for step to take now. If some of these "diamond" members would chip in and help instaed of bitch and moan maybe you and I could slove this problem. I posted the same problem with a slightly different title. Bumped it also. Glad the monkey didn't see. i'll keep looking1

I dont mind bumps, there is over-bumping though. Like this person did. No reason for a bump that SOON after the thread was created. Now, if we can get past the insults kid, Ill give you the exact same answer that this thread was given earlier:

KenCleanAirSystem was kind enough to give you the answer. As in FORMAT and REINSTALL. It will definitely work for you. Have a nice day. 😀
 
That is not the answer. I fixed mine by using the repair feature on the cd. no data lost and no problems. the only question that remains is how to boot from CD in DOS using smartdrv.exe I forgot the steps required. Now, how 'bout some real answers. Tech support at Compaq and HP use the "format" answer enough. Anybody got the steps required?

Now do you actually mean boot from cd into dos or how to use the cdrom drive while booted into dos? If you are already booted into dos why would you need to boot off cd?
 


<< It isn't overbumping if his thread got pushed back a few pages. >>



Ok, I figured a thread that was just bumped less than 30 min after the creation of the thread was considered over bumping. Whatever.

Anyhow, why not boot off the XP cdrom and go into the fixit mode or whatever? Then you can access your NTFS file system and everything! 😛
 
You can't boot from the CD in this scenario. You can install the file from the cd using DOS but it takes hours. That is what smartdrv is for. It worked like a charm! I just can't remember the steps.

I must be missing something since I gave up Windows a long time ago, but what is wrong with the hardware that keeps you from booting from cd?
 
I suppose it has something to do with XP. You cannot access the drive with XP on it by booting from CD. When I try, the installation does not find my HD. The tech at MS tried to explain it, but I never really understood. I have a dual boot set-up right now that will not find the HD when I boot from CD and try to repair XP. It boots to Win98 perfectly from the HD. It's baffling. Now when you copy smartdrv.exe to a Win 98 start disk and install that way everything works. Re-installs files necessary to boot XP with new hardware and all is well. I did that today on my other HD. By the way before someone else flames me, I have two XP disks (eval and full). Anybody know the steps? Would booting from a set of XP boot disks work?

Did you press F6 and give it the drivers for your hard disk controller?

And bumping 20 minutes after the first post seems excessive to me too.
 
It doesn't. Tried it fifty times every different way.

You either (1) tried it fifty times without knowing what you were doing such as having the right drivers for your hard drive (very unlikely that you would have a sophisticated hardware setup that would require this), or (2) you have a corrupted cd.

the only question that remains is how to boot from CD in DOS using smartdrv.exe I forgot the steps required. Now, how 'bout some real answers.

Do a search on the net for "DOS commands" and teach yourself some basic DOS commands. Then find the folder called "i386" and start "winnt.exe" once your in DOS.
 
You have to have smartdrv.exe running in some fashion. then go to i386 and winnt.exe. I just do not remember the steps.
The fifty times included all the DOS I knew. CD is fine. HD drivers were fine. Win 98SE booted perfectly. When you upgrade XP with a new processor and Motherboard, it gets real stubborn. Both of mine are operational now with no problems. According to MS using winnt.exe from DOS w/o using smartdrv.exe takes hours to install.
 
It will take hours to install without smartdrive, but it will work.

Win 98SE booted perfectly.

Are you sure your hard drive isn't plugged into the ATA100 controller on that board? You can't install win2k (and probably XP too) without giving it the driver at the beginning (hit F6 and have the floppy with the drivers ready). Win98 will load onto anything, so don't mention 98, it's a whole different animal.

Try plugging that hard drive onto the ata66 port and it should work fine without any controller drivers.

HD drivers were fine
You don't want hard drive drivers (??? 😱 ) you want hard drive controller (this is a chip on your motherboard, probably promise or something) drivers.

Before you do a drastic move like this, you might want to ask questions beforehand. It would have saved you a lot of trouble. Burning all your important files to CD before doing this would have been a smart move too. I never reinstall a motherboard without reinstalling windows. Someone said it works with *nix, and it did for me once.
 
All drives are installed properly. All data was backed up to 2 different HD's. 1 with an OS installed on it, just in case. The XP version that MS did not help me fix was on a RAID array. 98 boots fine. I deleted the array and started over. Installed 98 works perfectly. Installed XP( for a dual boot set-up) and got partially in set-up and got the stop error screen(0xF7946640....). Hit F6 on reboot to install RAID drivers and set-up continued. Completed setup and on final reboot after total install got the same stop screen. Now, how do I get in to install the drivers. MS knowledge base says the mass controller driver needs to be installed but I cannot get F6 to work at this point. IDEAS?

This explains why you're being such a snot about this poor guys problem. Besides, since when did ONE bump count as excessive bumping?

SunnyD
 
I believe that the general rule is one bump every 6-8 hours. Kind of excessive, so was n0cmonkeys flame of him though 😛

seems you have the problem mostly figured out, so i will now exit.

/exit latahhhhhhhhh
