Help Upgrading System (New MB & CPU)
Hi,
I have a friend who just recently decided to upgrade his Alienware-made computer with a faster cpu and motherboard. He went out and bought both and installed everything correctly, however, chaos struck. When first started the system would not recognize the cpu at the right speed and after attempts to make it closer or the actual cpu speed the computer became unstable and eventually wouldn't load at all. He sent it to a shop to be looked at and they couldn't figure out what the problem was (a well lost 60 dollars ), and now the computer won't load up past the bios screen. If anyone has any insight or knows of any problem or can help us get this machine working I'd appreciate it greatly, as my friend is at the point of just going out and spending a few grand just cause this rather good machine he has now isn't cooperating...Thanks in advance... His Old Specs: -AMD Athlon XP 2200 CPU -Asus A7N266-C DDR Motherboard -1 Gigabyte of PC2100 133mHz (unsure of speed, perhaps 266) DDR Ram -Nvidia Geforce4 TI4600 128 Ram -Audigy 1394 Soundcard His New Specs: -AMD Athlon XP 3200+ CPU -Asus A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard -1 Gigabyte of PC3200 400mHz DDR Ram -Nvidia Geforce4 TI4600 128 Ram -Integrated Sound Card (Onboard) -Jaggz |
