DreamH20 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Hey AG and or anyone that can help.. I was running my computer last night and during a benchmark of 3dmark03 the program crashed and shut the computer down. I booted it back up and ran into many stability issues. Turns out one of my crucial sticks died and won't pass anything in memtest86. Now the real problem is I can get my computer to boot with the other stick but now it is really sluggish and I can no longer run HT (hyperthreading) even when its enabled. I ran the cpu benchmark in sisoft sandra and I'm right in line with the 3.4E non HT score. But for some reason I lost all HT ability and the computer doesn't seem to run right. Windows loads slow and pauses alot. So would it be the chip or the motherboard causing the issue you think??? I need a few opinions here before I start trying to replace things.. :sad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 you'll have to try another cpu on this board, or you will have to try your cpu on another 775 board to make that determination. clearing CMOS overnight might reset some bios settings (do it the DFI way with battery out and power unplugged) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamH20 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 thanks AG!! I must have reset the bios a million times but never unplugged it and took out the battery. I just got done reinstalling XP and it worked like a charm!! I can't thank you enough! :angel: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
