I have an IWILL kk266r that was working nicely with a t-bird (1ghz) processer. I decided to update to an XP processor and I ran into some problems with HEAT (near 50c) after upgrading to the october bios. I saw the threads about others having the same problem.
I currently have a PAL66 that was working very well with the t-bird. I was going to upgrade to a PAL 8045 but will it help with these temp issues? This temp problem has caused issues (even without overclocking) with my WinXP installation. I have run into Blue Screen of death after repeating installations time and time again. I decided to roll back to the June bios and go back to the t-bird until I get things figured out but the issue now impacts this processor as well. the machine is more stable but is running at 46c without overclocking.
What is the best next step? PAL 8045? new Motherboard (any recommendations)? or both? does the XP cpu need the latest bios to function properly on the KK266r?
Thanks for the help...
