Re: Code 39 - Missing processor driver/mono sound

My opinion would be that the tech. did not load the proper driver set for
the AMD Athlon XP 2600+ processor. This driver set should be loaded before
any other driver sets.

I hope that helps.

I have an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo, and recently I installed 2 new SATA
hard
drives (Seagate 80gb barracuda - OS/ seagate 160gb barracuda - Data).

I installed Win XP pro, upgraded to SP2 + updates etc. and the whole
system
was working just fine, but after about 20 reboots or so I was experiencing
problems with boot-up. Suspecting I had some bad RAM, I took it into a
technician who confirmed that the RAM was faulty, and it was replaced.

However my initial problem was not fixed - this being: When I booted the
PC
up after the power had been off for a while, it invariable took forever to
load up, and usually ran Checkdisk (deleting a few things along the way).
I
have disconnected my Data drive, suspecting that this may be faulty, and
so
far the PC has booted fine.
The technician explained to me over the phone that he suspected this disk
was causing the trouble.

One strange thing that has happened since having the PC back from the
technician though is that in Device Manager, my AMD Athlon XP 2600+
processor
is showing up with the exclamation mark warning, and a Code 39 "Windows
cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted
or missing. (Code 39)" error message. When I go to update the driver, it
says it has the most recent version. I've tried visiting the AMD website
to
find an update but can't navigate the site very well. Also, in addition
to
this, I am only getting mono sound output (and a lot of hard disk activity
'noise' through the speakers). Is there an easy way for me to
troubleshoot
this problem? I suspect it's just a matter of rolling back some drivers or
something simple. I have also tried re-installing the mobo drivers from
the
CD it came with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
