Replaced CPU and now Windows XP does not boot

kakaronaldo · Oct 30, 2013

Hello i just replaced my Pentium d 925 with my Q6600 and then when i boot windows XP i get blue screen and it reboots itself again and if i want to go in safe mode it reboots also. I am now on Windows 7 on the same PC but i can not boot back into WinXP. What can i do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you only replaced your cpu and you get BSOD, you most likely have a faulty cpu or incompatible with your motherboard (BIOS update).

What's your motherboard, was the cpu used ?
If you put back your old cpu, does windows boot properly!

hit F8 on start up. Select Disable automatic restart on system failure. and at the bottom it will give a stop code. post back what it says.

0x000000c2 is the bsod code

Hmmm kinda generic but seems to be a driver issue most likely. have you tired putting in the old CPU and see if it boots?

Yes replacing the cpu back works i tried it. but now i am going to repair install XP because i need the files.... Or is there any other solution to get XP running again on my q6600 Thanks

Not quite sure why its giving that error on a CPU upgrade.

Just for shits and giggles you can try going into Device manager and uninstall all the Processors. Then shut down. Swap them. And start back up. Doubt that will work but hey ya never know

Okay i dont know how i fixed it but today i booted into windows XP and it is working!! Still don't know why it did not work the first time..

Thanks for all the help

Did you delete the CPU or did you just give it one more try and it booted lol. Computers are weird and honestly sometimes they just won't work at time. I use to talk to me. I use to threaten that i was going to scrap it. Then it would work XD
