I need help! My system is in the gutter right now.
Today it began acting really funny, then all of a sudden it won't turn on! I play around with it and get it to start, then it gives me this message at the screen where memory loads up:
The processor is unrecognizable or has been changed
What is that all about?!?
I run a dual P3 1Ghz system, and nothing like this has happened before.
It also tells me at the bios loading screen that I have a Pentium 500E Processor running at 66Mhz x (33). It also says two processors are detected. Very odd!
Now the strange part is I can press F1 to continue after this screen, and it takes me to the desktop with all my files loaded fine. But I know something is wrong because everything looks different in terms of my visual style (running XP) etc... I have run Norton to no avail.
I thought this might be a cooling issue but my BIOS says both processors are at a cool 68 degrees F. Please HELP!
