So i just got my opteron 165 today... and i didt reset the bios before i installed it... but i did the "insert" thing... and it reverted it all back... cpu booted first time @ 265mhz fsb (2385mhz) @ "auto" voltage... (1.5v) which i thought was a bit high... lowered it back to 1.4v... now i keep getting "machine exception check" ... set the cpu bck to stock... and stock volts... and reset the bios... and it's still doing it...
"last known good config" doesnt work either... the comp booted once after MS installed a new cpu driver... but thats the last time it booted... i only had 30 or so mins to get it in before work... so...
stepping is a CCBBE 0615. i was under te impression that this was a good stepping... ???
might an OS reload be in order?
also... i figured since the comp booted at all.. and ive had no problems before this that it's the cpu. memory is fine... passes memtest @ setting ive set. system has been running flawlessly fr the last 4 months.
system is in sig.
only things no listed are...
Casetek 1018b atx case
psu is an Antec 550 truepower (with an additional 92mm thermal fan on the exhaust)
