[Solved] AMD Processor Model Unknown

Ok guys!!
Just finished with the new pc.
Phenom II X2 545, but when click on computer properties i get the message: AMD Processor Model Unknown.
Also it does not recognise ATI Radeon X 700.
By the way, many things on BIos!!!
Pls start shooting answers :hello:

Don't let it bother you as long as the system works.
Do you see 2 cores under task manager --> performance, if so, both cores are being put to work like they should.
Can you watch 3d animations (games), or high quality video, if so, the X700 works fine.

in "Device Manager" i can see two processors but no info about them...
about vga card i downloaded the drivers and it's ok. Thought that XP could install the drivers

i can't see my ram. how can i check it?

I agree with Gulli. If the system works, don't worry about XP not recognizing the CPU. The video card may not have the correct drivers installed. Far that, just install the newest drivers. Far as RAM goes, it will never show up in device manager because there is no software for it. Far as checking it in Windows, right click on My Computer -->Properties. The thing I will stress is with XP, if you got 4GB of RAM installed, XP will not show the full 4GB. It will show anywhere from 3GB to 3.5GB. Far as the reason, look for 32-bit OS in the forum.

You probaby need to update to the newest bios to see the cpu model,but like the other gentleman said, if it's working dont stress it

All the above is fixed.
My BIG problem now is a utility from GIgabyte called East Tune which gives me an alert "Danger"

Keeps repeating something like "danger".
There is a red lamp next to CPU fan (i believe it goes faster than it should)
System Temperature is 44 C.
CPU temperature is 60 C.

Is this idle or load? If that's idle temp and this is a new system, your temps are to high. Its probably an incorrect install on the fan. You might need to reseat the HSF.

New system. Load is internet, avast.
How do i reset HSF??

Reply to ouzopower

Take it off, clean off the thermal paste, reapply thermal paste, put back on. If you used to much or not enough thermal paste your temps will be to high. If you failed to get all four clips on the heatsink your temps will be to high. Basically it sounds like something went wrong when you put the heatsink on, so you need to try again.

Probably just a case of not pushing the pins far enough, I really hate those pins and struggle with them on every machine I build :fou:
Why can't motherboard manufacturers just put screw holes around the socket? Screws have always pwned nails, pins and backplates and they always will...

DO NOT use EASYTune for Overclocking/System info. EasyTune is a mess.

Use:
CoreTemp (AMD/Intel)/RealTemp(Intel) for CPU
HWMonitor for Motherboard,GPU,etc temps

Download those and give us the temp reading with that.

if this core temp is accurate my cpu temp. is 37 C.
Low is 36 and high is 40

Those temps are fine.

^+1. Those temps are fine. Now, check the P95 load temps just to make sure.

Reply to Shadow703793

with load (approx. 20%) it reaches 40 C. Is it Normal?

Reply to ouzopower

What is P95 ????

Yeah, I have the same problem with ASUS PC Probe II.
Usually Everest gives me around 40C idle CPU temp (not core temps, but the temp from the heat spreader, coretemps are 35-40 when idle), when I open PC Probe it tells me that same temp is now over 50C and the funny thing is that's warmer than my core temps, which is physically impossible and Everest then suddenly also tells me the heat spreader is over 50C, while the cores haven't become hotter according to both Everest and Realtemp.
After a reboot Everest will show a 40C heat spreader temp again.

Run the Small FFT burn in test.

Or this is easier: http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_ [...] p?Download

Run the OCCT: Linpack burn in test.
