Hello guys, here's my system :
Asus A8N SLi premium
AMD 64bit dualcore 4200+
2gig DDR
280 gig Maxtor hard drive
7900GTX x 2
Tagan 700watt sli comlient PSU
Baiscally I was (am) having trouble in wow atm. When I turn my character the it lags and is not smooth at all. After reading the forums i learned it is a dual core problem, and come to think of it, i didn't see the problem until i recently upgraded my cpu to dual core. But I read that some people fixed this by upgrading their bios for their MB so i decided to try. (silly me)
Well i made a backup of the current version, checked to make sure i had the recommended chipset driver or latest on my mobo, then flashed the mobo to 1303. Everything went well, but when i started up it kept crashing and saying that windows was unable to start. I had the option to startup in safemode which i did at which point i got the message that new hardware was detected and software installed. since then it's behaving as normal, no problems (the problem in wow persists.)
My question is, have I messed something up horribly and was just lucky, or is that normal?
Sorry for being a noob, i never really wanted to mess around with bios before and probably wont in the future :S
Ty for help in advance.
