I am having trouble getting my dual to see both CPUs.
K7D, 2x 1600+ XP unlocked and smp modded.
One of the SMP mods was done by CMCquistion (a beautiful job), another was done by me. When I first did it, it was a horribly ugly mess. I can't believe it worked at all but it did. The system ran for a few months with both CPUs. Then one day the 2nd chip just disappeared for no aparent reason. Figuring it was the aformentioned ugly as hell SMP mod I pulled CPU 2 out and redid it. I did it right this time, I filled the pits and made a very clean professional looking connection on the last L5 bridge. It looks good (not quite as good as CMC's but still good). I put the chip back in, no luck.
Here is the thing, I get various other indications that cpu 2 is working, except windows doesn't see it.
Exhibit A
The post screen shows 2 cpus. You know, it does the memory test then does the 'Athlon MP 1600+ <big space> ,2 cpu(s)' thing.
Exhibit B
Sandra seems to think there are 2 working CPUs in the system.
Exhibit C
Windows disagrees.
Yeah I have the 'computer' driver set to ACPI multiprocessor PC. I have reset the BIOS (1.5) and reinstalled windows on the system since having this problem. I don't know what to believe. Please enlighten me
