Hosed windows

I tried a couple of new CPU's in a test box and I think my windows got hosed. Folding will get stuck on the initial benchmark. It matters not whether I run it as a service or manually or use optional flags or not. It hangs every time.

At first I suspected my cheap PSU (4.86v on 5v rail), but prime95 runs just fine. And this problem is independent of overclocking. I flashed to a newer bios anyway on my A7N8X...

I determined the problem has to be in windows because I can boot an Overclockix CD and fold just fine in Linux and with gromacs/SSE flags.

Reinstalling.......


For a second I was starting to think my brand new 2400+ was buggy or that my motherboard was on its way out. Hopefully a new install will fix things.

Sucks, I have to format my HD soon, it's been a few months and there's adware that adaware hasn't found yet.

Ok, windows is not to blame. My little 2GB hdd must be going. The reinstall did not cure the problem. Luckily I have another 2Gb hdd in reserve...
