Windows doesn't boot after installation of a 2nd processor..

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Hello,

I have added a second processor (exactly the same as the first one) on my hp
KAYAK XM600 (Bios V IC11.11), but now my windows 2000 Server SP4doesn't
boot.
It stop responding just when I can see the 'Windows boot logo' of windows
2000 Server

If I remove the second processor, everything is ok.
Have you got any idea of my problem please...

Regards,
Isabelle

Hello,

I have installed the second processor by using the different jumpers present
in the second processor (a soltek; the first one is a real intel).

They have the same caracteristics (P III 667/256/133/1.65V)

Now my computer boots but windows 2000 server only see one processor even if
I have changed the ACPI Monoprocessor to ACPI multiprocessor.

Can we see if both processors are visibles in the BIOS ?
Do I have to switch to MPS Multiprocessor?

Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

I had seen this link and I did it but it didn't work
I noticed that when I have the second processor plugged, there's the
caracter '_' visible at the top left corner, just before I can see the
windows 2000 boot logo but in windows I can't see my second processor, even
if I changed my ACPI Monoprocessor to ACPI Multiprocessor ...

Do I have to test the MPS Multiprocessor ?
HP doesn't really want to help me
