I've been an Intel guy for while, but I've always had a AMD computer. (1 of 5)
It was an Athlon 1300, then the core broke and I got a Duron 1600. The motherboard I had didn't recognize the chip so I figured it was time to upgrade that too.
I got an MSI K7N2-V nForce 2 chipset board.
It doesn't recogize the chip as a Duron either.
I've installed the latest nForce drivers (3.13).
I have the latest BIOS MSI offers... however the whole system is a bit unstable.
When I try to run F@H, the computer shuts off.
When I try to install something using a MS installer (Diskeeper for example) the computer shuts off.
This is with 512MB corsiar RAM on Windows XP Pro sp1 and a new 360W Enlight PSU.
Any help before I give up on AMD completly?
Thanks,
