LITTLE JOBBIE Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Hi as u can see with my other post iam building a gaming rig?, i heard about the am3 955's?? so i gave my new in the box AM3 810's to a friend last night?...., so we took out the old am2+ 9550's and put in the new 810's?. We started her up and it was fine in the bios everything looks ok? the machine was running happy with the new cpu.... we went to system details on vista? and it said cpu unknown???? but its running fine at 2600mhz and other software reconizise it ok so iam wondering if its vista? his M/B is a Foxconn A7vmx?, Iam checking to see if its got a new bios on the foxconn site?. iam thinking it might need the bios updated ?? or does he need to update vista so it will know what the hardware is? etc what are your thought on this? it is running fine apart from that?????.

maj0rgamer Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) windows is probably just not registering the cpu since it's quite new still... wouldn't worry about it as long as things look good in the bios and cpu-z. microsoft will probably release an update to support newer hardware (like that cpu) to show up. if they havn't already... have you made sure the system is updated with the latest updates?

Yup just as i thought i don't know how well that pc is updated?? but i will ask him to get it updated as soon as there must be an update about new tech now eh.... lol mad well anyway it is firing away quite the thing so soon enough it will be recognized with vista soon.....?.

maj0rgamer Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) it's just a speculation, but it should be recognized when the proper update(s) is/are applied... again though, as long as things look good in the bios and cpu-z it should be just fine.

Zertz Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Sounds like you need a BIOS update Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
