like wtf no matter what im screwed i wont have a pc for another 2 weeks
dont ever buy anything from dangeo.com
 
under the consumer right here in NZ you have the right to get a full refund because they sold the CPU to your as new, and the CPU is not new.
I would go into thier ofice and ask to talk to the manager and raise hell, that is not on from a retailer wether they are an retail store or Online

well after bitching they said they would refund me
and if they dont i called my cccompany that iused to buy it and told them what happend they said if they dont refund me within a weeks timethey would
gett my money back for me
so i went out just before and got one at a local store
this ones a cdbhe 0531tpmw
 
good luck with the new chip, hope you get your money back quickly

I had the same problem once a couple years ago

bought some outrageously expensive ram, it wasnt what it was advertised as, I returned it for refund and notified cc....I never got refunded, and the place I bought it from had their story believed more by the cc than me....total bs and all I HAD WAS A FEDEX SLIP AND CC BILL TO PROVE MY CASE...WHICH DIDNT HOLD ANY WATER.....


wooopsie, rant over....good luck with the new chip :santa:
 
Well i have to apologize now i got an rma sent it out. I was soo frustrated i went and got another x2 at a local store its doing the same thing exact same thing so that last chip might have been fine :(
so i might be selling one soon if i get screwd with both of them
now what to do ive tried changing the bios nothing still does the same thing
im gonna cry soon i dont know what to do
 
If that motherboard on your sig is what you're using then that is the one that has a problem. MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum does not support X2's and there will be no BIOS updates to support it.
 
thats what im gonna do
im gonna tell them to send me a dfi with a pci-e card tomorrow

Edit* the thing is ive seen ppl with this board and x2's on the foram there are some floating around.
 
Well i figured out what it is 1 of the sata ports on this ****y board doesnt like the x2 so no more raid :( this board is just buggy i hate it. Im gonna look into getting a dfi soon but i need a pci-e which will kill my budget
Another thing i reinstalled windows but it will only boot if i set bootup first cdrom and have the windows cd in ? wth is that about ?

RMA with AMD, they are fast when it comes to shipping it back to you.
 
*whistles and points at his motherboard*
1.9 bios and later supports it just fine.
Dont use sata ports 1 and 2, they are crap and have no lock.
