poppop Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 My DFI K8M800-MLVF mb sees my Sempron 64 2800 + as a unrecognized processor. Does, or can this mb, recognize the sempron 64 chip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Are you running the latest bios? I believe the initial release of the board came before the 90 nanometer CPU's so if you are running the original bios it will not recognise the Sempron.

poppop Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply. I have updated to the latest bios from the DFI site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I looked at the site and they say they added support for 90nm, seems odd that they would add the CPU microcode but not ID the processor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 the K8M800-MLV and MLVF recognize 90nm Sempron cpu's correctly with the latest official bios after flashing to the latest bios, please LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS, save & exit, and reboot, and it should show correctly. If not, please post back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppop Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I have updated the bios multiple times. After updating, the bios message on startup says "AMD hammer family processor - model unknown". If I check with apps like cpu-z or amd cpuinfo, I get the same unknown processor message but they do recognize the 64 support. If I run " everest home edition " app, it recognizes it as a sempron 2800 + and as a venice type chip which it is. It appears that the chip is recognized as being in the 64 family of processors, but does not identify itself as such. Probably I will not know if it is working as having 64 bit extensions until I have a 64 bit app to run. The updating bios software has one create a bootable disk and then use that to restart the computer. On the restart, the bios is flashed, and says to remove floppy and press F1. When I do this, my computer ignores the F1 request so I press del on startup and " load optimized defaults". The only bios update I am doing is the one that added support for revision "E" CPU. This is bios update 8M80D315.exe. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 When I get done flashing my bios I just shut the rig down instead of F1. Then I clear the CMOS for 5 minutes and then boot up and load optimised defualts. This will clear any of the residual timings and coding from the previous bios. Worth a shot to flash again and try it this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppop Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I followed the suggestion to flash the bios, turn off the computer, clear the cmos for 5 minutes, bootup and load optimised defaults. This did not fix the bios start up screen which still says " amd hammer family processor - model unknown". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
