AMD Phenom Cold Boot Issues
Please tell me if you think I'm way off here
Replaced an AMD 64 X2 4600 and Asus M2N-E motherboard with a Phenom 9500 in an Asus M3A. The Phenom is great *except* for cold boot issues. It typically takes 2 - 3 attempts to cold boot before success. Once running it's a thing of beauty, and restarts are no problem. I thing the new mobo/CPU draws more current and the PSU needs to be replaced. Current PSU - noname 500W. Your opinion? |

You need a better PSU. Bob |

I've seen loose fitting PSU connectors cause the same symptoms, but more than likely, your PSU has lost its ability to supply enough startup power, or never had enough for this cpu. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org My Tivo Experience http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/tivo.htm Tivo HD/S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm AMD cpu help http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php |
