Hello,
I recently upgraded my motherboard to Intel D875PBZ with
Pentium 4 3.0G CPU.
After the installation of the motherboard, I did a in-
place upgrade of Windows XP Professional; installed all
the new drivers associated with the motherboard. and
applied Windows XP SP2 and all patches.
Everything looking good. However, the new system would
freeze, sometimes 5 minutes; or 2 hours. Sometimes even
before the login page appeared.
I have changed the CPU and memory and it still freezes.
However, the system will not freeze if I disabled
the "HyperThreading" feature in the BIOS.
I called Intel support; they suggested me to try to
install a new copy of the Windows XP and to verify if it
still freezes. With a clean installation, the system
did not freeze
Intel support said when upgrading from a non-
hyperthreading motherboard to a hyperthreading one;
Microsoft Windows Setup did not replace all the drivers
properly.
I would really like to use my original Windows instances
with the HyperThreading enabled.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thank you
David
