no you just install them and hopefull it will work, if not the only other solution i can think of is a complete reinstall

ok new problem i was just going through the steps agin because i was on the amd forums and all the option i did have are now gone like the acpi multiprocessor pc option and then amd k8 driver all those i took some screen shots to show

 

[Me__2001]

what happens if you uncheck the compatible hardware box ? or it could be because your already using it

 

[chelseafc2005]

i unchecked it and it oly showed the k7 driver but then i rebooted the system and it sed found new hardware (k8 processor) and installed teh driver but with the acpi driver it isnt showing a multiprocessor driver

im gonna be honest and say i dont know, i've been searching the web and cant find anything, have you tried asking over at the AMD forums ? someone there should know what to do

 

[chelseafc2005]

ya im gona try to post on teh amd forums but the prob is is that this thing has bn posted on several times before so it sounds like there is a prob with something that is causing other people problems aswell im on the amd forums and im looking i will post if i figure how to fix it but thanks for all your ideas and help

i think you need to do a complete reinstall to change to a multiprocessor driver

 

[chelseafc2005]

so i have to do a clean install otherwise im ****ed about using both the cores ok im ****ed cus i didnt install the mb or processor cus i brought the cmo into the store because windows crashed and at the same tim i wanted to do a few upgrades so they said they would fit them and do a fresh windows install but from the sounds of it they dont know what they are doing

 

[Me__2001]

it seems that way, they probably installed over the top of the old one which is why it thinks that its still a single core system, it needs to have complete HD format and before the reinstall

 

[chelseafc2005]

but it was a new hd cus there was a hd failure wel that is what i was told so i will call em up 2mrro and they will fix it for meor els!

i have no idea now, if you've got the time sit and watch them do it and start it up to make sure its right before you take it home
