Sudden and complete failure of my MSI motherboard (P4 3.0G) forced me to buy
a replacement and I decided to upgrade at the same time and I bought an
Athlon 64 board and 3200+ Athlon 64 processor. I checked that my memory and
graphics cards etc would all work, but forgot that the P4 chip had
HyperThreading enabled and so I have effectively moved from a Multiprocessor
system to a single processor system.
Windows XP is blue screening soon after the logo appears, but the screen
disappears too quickly to get the message. I think I have a HAL mismatch. I
have tried an repair-reinstall, and used F5 to ensure that the correct HAL
is being selected (normal APCI PC) but still get the blue screen.
Is there ANY chance of getting my old XP installation back? - I was going to
dual boot Windows 64 for a while before I move 100% over.
thanks
