The old MB died on me so I got a new one with a new CPU and memory.
But now I'm stuck.
My old system, XP-Pro was on a IDE-drive and the new MB only has SATA-ports.
I cloned XP to a SATA-drive, but got a Blue screen. I tried a IDE-to-SATA converter on the old drive, but got a blue screen.
I gave up and tried to repair XP on the old drive, but after XP-install has loaded drivers I got a new blue screen.
I then tried to let XP repair the SATA-drive, with the same result.
After Googling I read about AHCI and so I set BIOS to use IDE instead. The old drive: Blue screen. The new drive: Blue screen
I gave up on XP and tried Windows 7 instead. It loads but is really, really slow and when it finally (30min or so) arrives to the "Choose your language and locality"-screen it freezes.
I chcked the voltage on the momery and saw that it was only at 1.50V but acording to the memory specs it requires 1.65V so I changed that in BIOS, but no change.
I also noticed that the memory only ran at 1333.33MHz but acording to the specs it was supposed to run at 1600, so I changed that too in BIOS but then I got an error pop-up from BIOS telling me that I was out of line. So back to 1333.33, but still no progress.
I Googled some more and saw that the BIOS was almost a year old and so I updated it to the latest, but no change.
Ok, this is what I have:
GA-F2A75M-D3H, BIOS: F5
AMD A4 5300 3.6GHz 1MB cache
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9
Corsair CX430 430W PS
Seagate Bccacuda 7200.12 1TB
I have been at it on and off for a week now so any advice would be highly appreciated.
